At the same time, the high-speed rail company will also dynamically add fully non-reserved seat services (excluding business class) that stop at all stations, depending on crowd conditions at stations, for key time slots such as southbound services after 14:00 on May 30 (Friday) and northbound services after 12:00 on June 2 (Monday), to help transport passengers.
During the Taiwan High-Speed Rail Dragon Boat Festival transport period, a total of 91 additional services have been planned over five days, bringing the total number of services to 766. Each service is equipped with 3 to 4 non-reserved seat cars to offer passengers more flexible and convenient travel options.
Passengers are encouraged to make use of convenience stores partnered with Taiwan High-Speed Rail, or the “T Express” mobile app for quick ticket booking and through-check-in services. Booking and picking up tickets early allows direct station entry and boarding; alternatively, using an Easycard affiliated card with auto-value enabled allows direct passage through turnstiles for non-reserved seats, helping you avoid crowded stations and plan your high-speed rail trip during the Dragon Boat Festival with ease.
