Frequently Asked Questions
Can I find a seat when using EasyCard on Taiwan Railways?
The EasyCard is set as non-reserved standing ticket, so there are no fixed seats available.
Once the train is in motion, you can sit in any available seat, but if you occupy a seat that is reserved, you will need to give it up.
