Taipei Metro 台北捷运

Taipei Metro is a rather established network, and easily brings you around Taipei. It's our main mode of transport in Taipei since it's so convenient and cheap! It also allows us to experience up-close-and-personal, the lifestyle of the locals. We only take the Taxi, known as 小黄 by the locals as the cabs there are all yellow, when necessary.

Regardless if you want to go to Xi Men Ding (西门町, Wu Fen Pu （五分谱), or Dan Shui （淡水), you can get there by Taipei Metro. The frequency is quite good, so there's minimal waiting time, and no worries of traffic jams!
