Cai Qinan, assistant manager of Tamsui Passenger Transport, said that the reorganization is to allocate transport capacity based on actual passenger conditions, and said that the 988 bus has a substitute function. The holiday service is reduced due to fewer tourists in Baliduan, most of whom switch to cycling.
