- Taoyuan-Hsinchu-Miaoli and Yilan-Hualien-Taitung monthly pass plans are expected to be officially launched in October
Nine monthly pass programs were approved in the Taoyuan-Hsinchu-Miaoli living circle, Yilan County, and Hualien County by the Directorate General of Highways, MOTC, after the announcement of the TPASS commuter monthly pass program review. The implementation date is set for October 1. The plans from Chiayi County and New Taipei City also didn't pass the review because they didn't incorporate counties and cities into the living circle and were too skewed toward a small-scale regional model, which didn't meet the criteria for inter-regional and inter-public transportation transfers.
