Mass

area's dedicated bus route network, forms a convenient transportation
system. The MRT system currently has six lines in operation.
For MRT operation routes map, please turn to page 85. These
lines are dotted with a variety of attractions and scenic
spots. As a result, visitors can take a leisurely journey
through most of the attractive parts of Taipei by using MRT.
Ticket
machines can be found in all MRT stations, providing ticketing
services with English instructions (coin changers are also
provided in all stations.) A "single-journey ticket"
price ranges from NT$20 to NT$65 depending on travel distance.ˇ@
A $150 ˇ§one-day passˇ¨ purchased from the service booth will
allow unlimited travel among all MRT lines within one day.
Please take advantage of the one-day pass if you wish to visit
spots along the MRT lines. Recently, MRT continued promoting
the use of ˇ§Easy Goˇ¨ cards which are very convenient. ˇ§Easy
Goˇ¨ cards integrate MRT, buses, and public off-road car parks
in Taipei through a contactless smartcard ticketing system.
ˇ§Easy Goˇ¨ cards can be purchased in any MRT stations. For
