On April 10, the Tourism Administration, Ministry of Transportation and Communications announced the upgraded classic version of the "Taiwan PASS", along with three brand-new packages. The enhanced pass further integrates transportation and attraction resources to improve travel convenience for independent travelers in Taiwan. To show appreciation to tourists, the Tourism Administration is also launching a limited-time &ldquoBuy One, Get One Free&rdquo offer for two travelers, encouraging both domestic and international visitors to explore Taiwan at a discounted price.

Since 2024, the "Taiwan PASS" has successively incorporated Taiwan High Speed Rail (THSR), Taiwan Railways (TRA), the four major metro systems, and four popular Taiwan Tourist Shuttle routes. Two core pass types have been available: the THSR version (for international travelers only) and the TRA version (for both domestic and international travelers). In this latest upgrade, QR code boarding has been introduced on the Sun Moon Lake Line and Alishan Line of the Taiwan Tourist Shuttle. A new &ldquoYilan Tourist Shuttle 3-Day Pass&rdquo has also been added, offering more flexibility for cross-regional travel. Notably, this is the first time a one-way ticket for the Alishan Forest Railway has been included, making it easier for tourists to visit Alishan &mdash selected by The New York Times as one of the &ldquo52 Places to Go in 2025.&rdquoThe addition of the Alishan Forest Railway Main Line and the Yilan Hop-On Hop-Off 3-Day Pass aims to encourage more domestic and international travelers to explore across regions.

Tourism Administration Director-General Chou Yung-hui stated that since the launch of &ldquoTaiwan PASS&rdquo in 2024, around 25,000 passes have been sold, receiving very positive feedback. In response to the growing demand for short-term domestic trips, the 2025 upgrade strengthens connections between attractions, aiming to attract more travelers to explore Taiwan in depth.

The Tourism Administration added that the three new Taiwan PASS packages officially go on sale starting April 10, 2025, at 10:00 a.m., alongside the &ldquoBuy One, Get One Free&rdquo promotion. The THSR and TRA Attractions Versions are each limited to 200 sets, while the Easy Go Highlights Version is limited to 800 sets, available while supplies last.

With its all-new upgrades, Taiwan PASS is expected to further drive Taiwan&rsquos tourism development by offering travelers more diverse and convenient ways to explore the island in depth.
