Written/Compiled and Reported by MOOK Travel Life Net, Chen Guanxin

 

The annual Kenting Spring Scream Music Festival is just around the corner. This biggest annual music feast in Kenting, Pingtung, attracts hundreds of thousands of people every year. This year coincides with the four-day Qingming Festival holiday. The Pingtung County Government and the Directorate General of Highways, Ministry of Transportation and Communications, Kaohsiung Area Administration, in addition to coordinating with high-speed bus operators on the Kaohsiung-Kenting route to add more services during the holiday, have also partnered with Taiwan High Speed Rail and major bus operators including national freeways, the Kaohsiung-Kenting route, and the Kenting Shuttle Bus to launch joint transportation ticket discounts. Among these, if the public purchases two types of combo tickets — the “Kenting Express” High-Speed Rail combo ticket and the “Kaohsiung–Kenting Good Go Package” — at any 7-ELEVEN ibon nationwide, they can ride the Kenting Shuttle Bus unlimited times from April 4 to 7 during the Qingming holiday.

This year, in conjunction with the Spring Scream Music Festival, the existing High-Speed Rail “Kenting Express” combo ticket includes “round-trip high-speed rail + round-trip Kenting Express + one free one-day Kenting Shuttle Bus pass,” offering a 25% discount on high-speed rail tickets and also includes one free one-day Kenting Shuttle Bus pass (for example, the “Taipei – Zuoying” route is only NT$2,830). The “Kaohsiung–Kenting Good Go Package” includes the “Kenting Express + 2-day Kenting Shuttle Bus pass” (priced at NT$800); and during the Qingming holiday from April 4 to 7, passengers can ride the Kenting Shuttle Bus unlimited times. With such great deals, everyone across the country is welcome to experience the beauty of Hengchun Peninsula via public transport.

 

The Urban and Rural Development Bureau of Pingtung County Government stated that in the past, traveling from Kaohsiung to Kenting by public transport took about three hours. Since the launch of the Kenting Express in May 2010 (99th year of the Republic of China), not only has the route been optimized to use expressways, but the number of stops has also been reduced. The journey from Zuoying to Kenting now takes just 120 minutes when traffic is smooth, significantly cutting down travel time and making trips to Kenting much more convenient. Additionally, the Kenting Express has a dedicated service counter at the Zuoying Station of the Taiwan High Speed Rail (next to Exit 2), providing services such as ride reservations and travel consultations.
