Helppo kortti ja ipass

Jos reittisuunnitelmasi vaatii, että käytät usein junaa, kannattaa ehkä hankkia helppo kortti tai IPASS. Nämä ovat uudelleen ladattavissa olevia kontaktittomia kortteja, joita voit käyttää kuljetukseen, joitain vähittäiskauppoja ja muita palveluita Taiwanissa. Tämä on kätevää, koska sinun ei tarvitse ostaa lippua jokaisesta ajosta. Sinun täytyy vain ladata uudelleen kerran tai kahdesti. Voit ostaa lentokentältä ja käteviä myymälöitä 100 dollarilla plus kuormaasi. Paras asia Taichungissa on, että linja -autohinta on ilmainen 10 km: n sisällä helpolla kortilla tai IPASS: lla.
