Rating

Rail travel on THSR and TRA provides direct city-to-city connections and frequent departures that reduce overall travel time compared with long-distance buses. Buses may be cheaper but take significantly longer and stop more frequently. Flights between Taichung and Taipei-area airports have shorter airborne times but require airport transfers and additional time for check-in and security, making rail the preferable option for most door-to-door journeys.
