The Tourism Bureau stated that the two Classic Teddy Bear Loves Tainan themed buses—one each on Taiwan Tourist Shuttle Routes 88 (Anping Line) and 99 (Taijiang Line)—are launched in collaboration with local business Classic Teddy to jointly promote Tainan tourism. Each themed bus is decorated according to its route’s theme, featuring designs of Tainan’s major historic sites and the greenery of the Sicao Green Tunnel. As soon as passengers board, they’re immersed in the atmosphere of Tainan’s historic city and the mangrove green tunnel. Plus, the bus handles are creatively adorned with cute Q-version sword lions, black-faced spoonbills, and fiddler crabs that sway with the movement of the bus, keeping even standing passengers entertained.
