The Taichung Transfer Center is expected to be opened on November 4. The Taichung City Transportation Bureau invites passenger transport operators, the Taichung District Supervision Office of the Highway Bureau of the Ministry of Transportation and other units to conduct vehicle trial operations and confirm the installation location of related equipment, and to take stock of future operating scenarios and passenger transfer needs in advance. In response to the demand, it was announced that 26 national highway passenger transport lines and 1 urban bus line would be introduced to take the lead in stationing. The road network covers Keelung, Taipei, New Taipei, Taoyuan, Hsinchu, Nantou, Yunlin, Chiayi, Tainan, Kaohsiung and Pingtung counties and cities, creating the most convenient transportation center in Central Taiwan.
Transportation Director Ye Zhaofu said that the Taichung Transit Center, located next to Taichung Railway Station, is an important gateway project to Taichung City and an important transportation construction in the old city of Taichung. As the civil construction project of the Taichung Transit Center enters the final stage and successfully completes investment promotion, the Transportation Bureau is actively working with Taichung Station and Qiancheng The urban bus and national highway passenger transport operators with stations nearby are coordinating their willingness to enter the station; the Central City Tourism Bureau and the Nantou County Government also believe that the opening of the transfer center is a good opportunity to improve the connection to tourist attractions and the tourist transfer environment, and actively coordinate the stationing of Taiwan's travel routes that pass around Taichung Station.
Ye Zhaofu pointed out that after more than a year of coordination, Guoguang Passenger Transport, Tonglian Passenger Transport, Taichung Passenger Transport and Nantou Passenger Transport took the lead in relocating their business bases originally located on Dazhi North Road and Shuangshi Road. In the future, 26 national highway passenger transport and 1 urban bus will be introduced to take the lead in stationing. The road network covers Keelung, Taipei, New Taipei, Taoyuan, Hsinchu, Nantou, Yunlin, Chiayi, Tainan, Kaohsiung and Pingtung counties and cities.
In addition, Taiwan HaoXing's Taichung Fashion City-City City Line and Jiji Line will also be stationed at the Taichung Transfer Center by adjusting their endpoints or adding new intermediate stations, providing indoor transfer services where passengers can use rail and highway passenger transport at the same station.
The Transportation Bureau stated that in late July, it had first invited passenger transport operators to send vehicles for trial operation, allowing operators to understand the configuration of future operating facilities in advance. Recently, relevant units and passenger transport operators were once again invited to the site to exchange opinions with operators on the configuration of ticketing, guidance, ride information and related service facilities. At the same time, field testing of vehicles was carried out, so that all parties can have a more detailed understanding of future operating scenarios.
