Rating

Rail travel between Taichung and Taoyuan, especially on THSR, gives city-center to city-center connections with predictable travel times and frequent departures. Buses have lower fares but longer door-to-door durations and may call at peripheral stops. Flights require airport transfers and check-in time, making overall travel time longer for most door-to-door journeys between these cities. For many travelers, rail provides the fastest direct link between central Taichung and Taoyuan.
