TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — The Taiwan High Speed Rail (THSR) announced in a press release Wednesday (Oct. 12) it will offer international travelers 30% discounts on “One-Way Tickets” from now until Nov. 30 amid the opening of Taiwan’s borders. 

The One-Way Tickets first launched by THSR in 2015 are only sold to short-term international travelers, while the tickets have become their best transfer choice after arriving in Taiwan, the company said. Foreigners can purchase One-Way Tickets through THSR’s overseas and domestic agents and then use the tickets in the 90 days after purchase, according to the release.

After purchasing the tickets, oncoming foreign passengers should book their seats in advance via the THSR Pass website, obtain the booking number, and then collect the tickets at any THSR station in Taiwan by presenting their booking number, passports, and entry documents before boarding the train.



In addition to the One-Way Tickets, international travelers can also opt to purchase the THSR Pass or the THSR and TRA Joint Pass according to their travel schedules and needs, as these passes will allow them to explore the country and experience local culture during their stay, per the release.

The THSR Pass will allow foreign passengers unlimited rides on THSR trains within the designated days, while the THSR and TRA Joint Pass will allow them unlimited rides on designated Taiwan Railway trains and limited rides on THSR trains within the designated period.
