The Taipei double-decker bus operates on two routes, Red and Blue, with a total of eight buses currently in service. Each bus departs every 40 minutes, looping through old districts such as Taipei Main Station, Beimen, Ximen, and Jingfu Gate. The Blue Line turns onto Zhongshan North Road to reach the National Palace Museum, while the Red Line follows Xinyi Road to Taipei 101 before returning via Zhongxiao East Road—making the entire journey a tour through Taipei’s top sightseeing spots.
