Transportation

May I know whether it is advisable to purchase bus/mrt ticket for 2 days (like those in Singapore-ezlink card)to enable us to travel on our own. Places to visit will be tamshui/ fisherman%26#39;s wharf, wulai, green lake, lungshan temple, tzu-shih temple-Sanhsia, keelung, yehliu and other night markets. Thank you.



Transportation


At any MRT station%26#39;s information you can buy easy card-悠遊卡,it%26#39;s NT500,can be use for bus,MRT,Train commuter,and ferry in Damsui.



It%26#39;s refundable and with the card you can get 20 percent low for the fare.



Transportation


Easy card can%26#39;t be used for the areas out of Taipei.




Thanks. How long is the validity? That%26#39;s mean I cannot use to go to Sanhsia, keelung and yehliu, rite?




Since U%26#39;ll be travelling by MRT n some buses here n there, buying n using a Youyoucard is good.





When U return the card(s) to any MRT station counter, U%26#39;ll get whatever amount unused + deduction of a penalty of TWD20 for hving each card less than 3 months..

Hi TA,





Youyoucard can be used outside Taipei? Thanks.




easy card=悠遊卡(youyoucard)




Berries,





Here are places U listed which will accept payment via EasyCard (悠遊卡 YouyouCard):





• Danshui



1. Bus to Fisherman Wharf



2. Ferry to Pa Li waterfront



• MRT travel





U can do a search in forums for details where EasyCard can be used.





I doubt such info will be helpful in yr case. I%26#39;ll prefer to do this:





Whenever unsure - simply, ask. :-)





Ask the driver. Ask the ticket counter staff. Ask fellow commuters waiting in line..





Btw, when a form of transport accepts EasyCard payment, the EasyCard logo will be well displayed..





IMHO, to have such info like ';where in/out of Taipei can use EasyCard';, even printed out n carried with the traveller will not be helpful.





I find it faster, more practical %26amp; effective to ask whenever I%26#39;m unsure.





TA :-)




Card sensors were installed in Taipei, Keelung, Jongli, Banciao,Wanhua and Shulin. I am not sure but Songshan should also be covered in this. You can check on it.



Remember Reuifang does not have one so cant use it for that sector .




Thanks for all the info. Have a good day! Cheerio!!
