There will be a total of 200 discounted trains per week, including 56 trains at 50% off and 144 trains at 70% off. Pre-sales begin tomorrow (the 5th). University students across Taiwan can purchase tickets for designated trains and standard class reserved seats at any THSR station ticket window during the campaign period by presenting a valid student ID, and will be eligible for the discounted fares on specified time slots.

In addition, Taiwan High Speed Rail has adjusted its early bird discount policy starting November 1. In addition to the existing 35% and 10% early bird discounts, a new 20% early bird discount will be introduced. For example, the lowest price for a standard class reserved seat on the Taipei–Zuoying route with a 35% early bird discount is just NT$965. Early bird discount tickets for November 1 onward will go on pre-sale starting October 5. Passengers can purchase them via the 24-hour THSR online booking system, partner convenience stores, the voice reservation system, the mobile quick-ticketing service T Express, or at THSR station ticket windows and automatic ticket machines during operating hours.
THSR stated that all three types of early bird discount tickets are available for purchase starting 28 days before the train’s departure date and will be on sale until 8 days before departure. If 35% early bird tickets sell out, 20% early bird tickets will be offered earlier; if 20% early bird tickets sell out, 10% early bird tickets will be offered earlier. Once all discounted tickets are sold out, the original fare will apply. For more details, visit the THSR website: www.thsrc.com.tw/tc/ticket/tic_kind07.asp.
