To encourage the public to reunite and travel during the Mid-Autumn holiday, the high-speed rail company has applied the Early Bird Discount to 550 services during the Mid-Autumn travel period, accounting for 72.8% of the total services. Among these, 66 designated services in standard class with assigned seating will offer an Early Bird Discount of either 65% off (46 services) or 90% off (20 services) (see the table below for applicable services). Passengers are welcome to take advantage of this opportunity.The high-speed rail company stated that for services with travel dates starting from September 1, the advance purchase window for the Early Bird Discount has been adjusted to 5 to 28 days before the travel date. Passengers who purchase tickets within this period may be eligible for discounts of 65%, 80%, or 90% off; quantities are limited, so the earlier you book, the better your chances.

During the high-speed rail Mid-Autumn travel period, all services will continue to offer 3 to 4 cars with free seating. Passengers holding period tickets, return tickets, or EasyCard co-branded cards (with auto top-up enabled) can enter stations directly by tapping their cards. Passengers are advised to reserve seats in advance and pick up their tickets early so they can go straight to the platform and board without queuing to buy tickets or dealing with crowds at the station.
 
※During the travel period, the “University Student Discount” (applicable services listed on the corporate website), “Standard Class Cardholder Discounts,” and “Business Class Limited Upgrades” promotions will be available. The “Off-Peak Weekday Discount,” “Senior Citizen Discount,” “Group Discounts for 30+ People,” and “School Excursion” promotions will not be available.
