After Taipei and Kaohsiung launched their sightseeing buses, Tainan—initially scheduled to introduce its sightseeing buses by the end of 2017—is also set to debut double-decker versions in early 2018. The operation has been awarded to Youfucheng Bus. The sightseeing bus route includes Tainan Railway Station, passing through Beimen Road, Ximen Road, Anping Road, Fufront Road, and Zhongshan Road, among others. The route features multiple tourist attractions and hotels, making it highly convenient for both international and domestic visitors.

In addition, Tainan City Government’s Department of Transportation has been promoting a bus rapid transit policy, completing the renovation and construction of nine transit stations. Besides serving as transportation hubs, these stations also incorporate architectural designs that reflect local cultural characteristics. Among them, four transit station facilities—Guangmiao, Shanhua, Bao’an, and Xinsi Station Front Transit Facilities—were jointly awarded the 2017 National Excellence in Construction Award. Visitors to Tainan may want to stop by these transit stations to admire their architectural styles.

The double-decker sightseeing buses are expected to initially deploy three vehicles, with ticket prices ranging between 200 and 300 NTD. In addition to city areas, historical sites, and popular attractions, night markets and charming streets and alleys will also be key stops on the route. Plans for ticket packages or free-hop-on-hop-off options are also under consideration.
