The Taiwan Railways Administration (TRA) on Monday announced that it will offer a 10-day ride pass for students. Students can buy the pass for NT$900 (about US$30) between July 15 and September 15 using a student ID or a diploma showing they graduated this year.
The 10-day pass is the most economical promotion that the TRA has ever rolled out. Students pay NT$90 (about US$3) a day for unlimited access to rides on certain TRA trains, which traverse the island. Passholders will not be entitled to rides on tourist trains, and the pass does not guarantee a seat.
