To encourage more passengers to “ride the high-speed rail and explore Taiwan” during the National Day holiday, the rail operator has designated 504 services eligible for the “Early Bird Discount,” accounting for over 68% of all services during this period. Among these, 55 specified services in standard class with assigned seating will offer an Early Bird discount of either 65% off (31 services) or 90% off (24 services) (see table below for applicable services). Passengers who book their tickets between 5 and 28 days before their travel date may enjoy Early Bird discounts of 65%, 80%, or 90%. Supplies are limited — the earlier you book, the better your chances. Don’t miss out, book early.
 
During the National Day transport period, all services will continue to offer 3 to 4 cars of free seating. Passengers holding periodic tickets, return tickets, or EasyCard co-branded cards (with auto top-up enabled) can enter stations directly via card tap. Please reserve your seat in advance and pick up your ticket early so you can go straight to the platform and board without waiting in ticket lines or dealing with crowded stations.
