With winter vacation and the nine-day-long Spring Festival just around the corner, those who want to travel but prefer not to drive can now fulfill their desire for a relaxing getaway. To meet the public's need for stress-free travel, the Tourism Bureau of the Ministry of Transportation and Communications and the Taiwan Railways Administration have partnered to integrate Taiwan’s sightseeing bus tours and TRA train services, launching the “Taiwan Sightseeing Bus & Railway Travel Pass.” This pass saves time, effort, and money, allowing travelers to reach attractions directly by bus or train, with food, fun, and activities all included — making it an incredibly worthwhile and cost-effective choice.
