TRAINS
If you plan on going outside of Taipei there are a lot of buses and trains. The trains are slower and cheaper and the railway network includes the western, eastern northern and southern lines. For further information please visit their website; http://www.railway.gov.tw/tw/
You can even take the High Speed Train, which allows you to take a one day trip to Kaohsiung. This train is faster and somewhat expensive but you can go onto their website and look for a discount. Please visit http://www.thsrc.com.tw/tc/index.asp
Taiwan’s high speed rail train serves the west of Taiwan stretching from Taipei in the north to Taichung, Tainan and terminating at Kaoshiung in the south. The whole journey is supposed to take 90 minutes.
