Wang Ya Zhi (王亞志), a business management student from Swatini, said that teachers would bring students to take a bus to Yuanlin and Taichung, as well as how to transfer to the train and high-speed rail during freshmen training. It was helpful to foreign students.
When foreign students first arrived in Taiwan, they had no means of transportation, so being able to enter the campus by bus is a good service for them. Besides students, more residents of Beidou and Xizhou also started taking buses. The public is encouraged to take buses to reduce the possibility of traffic accidents, as well as carbon emissions.
