High-speed Rail in Taiwan - Services

Services

According to the March-2103 timetable of THSR ,it provide 915per week train services for operation, system start from 06:30 to 24:00 everyday. Basically speaking, most of the southbound trains dispatch from Taipei station and northbound train dispatch from Zuoying. But it still has few trains operate just between Taipei – Taichung or Zuoying – Taichung.

Southbound trains are designated by odd train numbers. Northbound trains have the same numbering scheme, but have even train numbers. With the January 18, 2008, timetable, THSRC introduced train services that only operate on certain days of the week, designated by train numbers in the 1xxx range. Standard and Business Car compartments are available aboard each train, with the latter offering wider seating, individual audio entertainment systems, and power outlets for portable electronics in each seat. By August 2012, implementation of 4G WiMAX on-board trains is expected to allow smooth wireless broadband services, thus becoming the first high-speed ground transportation system equipped with this service.

    I see this evident, that we willingly accord to piety only the services that flatter our passions.
    Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)

    Civil servants and priests, soldiers and ballet-dancers, schoolmasters and police constables, Greek museums and Gothic steeples, civil list and services list—the common seed within which all these fabulous beings slumber in embryo is taxation.

    Those services which the community will most readily pay for, it is most disagreeable to render.
