This year’s Mid-Autumn Festival features a three-day long weekend. To accommodate travelers’ needs for returning home and traveling,Taiwan High-Speed Rail will operate an additional 34 southbound and 42 northbound trains, totaling 76 extra services during the five-day Mid-Autumn travel period, providing a total of 757 train services over the five days, while maintaining non-reserved seating and the “Early Bird Discount” (for the Mid-Autumn Festival timetable, see the attached file). Passengers can start purchasing round-trip tickets for the Mid-Autumn travel period from September 5 to 9 starting at midnight on August 9 (Saturday).

To encourage the public to reunite and travel during the Mid-Autumn holiday, the high-speed rail operator 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 10% off (20 services) (see table below for applicable services). Passengers are encouraged to take advantage of these great deals.The high-speed rail operator stated that for services with travel dates starting from September 1, the advance purchase window for the Early Bird Discount has been adjusted to between 5 and 28 days before the travel date. Passengers who book within this period may enjoy Early Bird discounts of 65%, 80%, or 10% off; quantities are limited, so the earlier you book, the better your chances.
