Taipei City Government

     With a view to expected demand for bus services during the upcoming Spring Festival holiday and also to operational efficiency, Taipei Joint Bus System routes will be adjusted February 4-9, 2019 (Monday-Saturday). During those six holidays, the following adjustments will apply:
     Weekday fixed-time bus services will be suspended on New Year’s Eve (February 4) and New Year’s Day (February 5). On the remaining days of Chinese New Year (February 6-9), at least half of the usual services will be provided, with no intervals stretching longer than twice the original interval. 
     Similarly, MRT shuttle bus services will also be halved on New Year's Eve (February 4) and New Year’s Day (February 5). At least half of the usual services will be provided, with no intervals stretching longer than twice the original interval. 
     The rest of the MRT shuttle bus services will operate according to the usual weekend schedule, with the exception that, for some shuttle services, the first and last departures will be adjusted based on demand. 
     All Taipei Joint Bus System services and MRT shuttle bus services will return to normal on February 10. 
     In addition, the Public Transportation Office reminds the public that some services may be slightly adjusted based on passenger volume to and from major transfer hubs, airports, monuments, temples, and scenic recreation areas.
