Rail travel on TRA regional services offers direct city-center to city-center connections with regular departures and minimal transfers compared with flights. Buses provide alternative point-to-point services along the west coast but usually require longer journey times. Flights are not practical for this short route due to airport transfers and limited time savings. For most travelers between Zhubei and Houlong, TRA regional trains offer the most reliable station-to-station option.
