The Taipei subway is fantastic, it’s easy to use, there are maps everywhere in English and Chinese, and the routes are colour coded so its easy to know which train to catch. Trains arrive regularly and on time. All you have to do is- read the map and see where you want to go and how much it costs- buy a token before you enter the platform. Swipe your token as you go through the gates- and don’t loose it! Desposit your token as you leave. Remember the colour of the route you are taking and the last station on that route- put your token in head to the platform.
Here is some pics of the most beautiful train station in Taipei- Taiwan, and possibly the world!
The entrance to the station is decorated by beautiful original artworks. This subway station illustrates the low crime rate in Taiwan as the station is beautifull clean and the paintings are not behind glass and the station shows no signs of vandalism or graffiti.
