Practical Information for TRA Travelers

Luggage Guidelines on TRA and connecting THSR services. Rules differ between regional TRA trains and THSR; below are key points for carry-on and larger items when traveling between Zhubei and Taipei.

Luggage Allowance

Passengers may bring carry-on items and small suitcases aboard TRA services without specific weight limits, but large items must fit in overhead racks or vestibule storage. THSR connections follow size limits where luggage should not exceed combined dimensions typical for intercity rail.

Storage Facilities

TRA trains have overhead racks and designated luggage areas for larger bags on some commuter sets. THSR trains provide dedicated luggage spaces near car doors and overhead storage above seats for standard suitcases and backpacks.

Special Items

For bicycles, musical instruments, or bulky sports equipment, check operator rules in advance. Space for special items is limited on peak services and may require early boarding or prior arrangement.

Rail services provide direct city-center connections and more frequent departures compared with intercity buses, reducing transfer time and station-to-station travel time. Buses run direct routes with lower fares but longer travel durations; flights are not practical for this short corridor due to airport transfer times. For most passengers between Zhubei and Taipei, rail offers the best balance of travel time and access to central stations.

Plus, it’s a greener choice, reducing your carbon footprint
