Does Taipei MRT ticket work outside of Taipei?


Long story short, it is limited outside of Taipei. Plan your budget accordingly.

This is definitely NOT able to use outside of Taipei… even outside of MRT. One ride and that’s it.

Taipei MRT and buses only.





Easy Card/ EasyCard

You pay $3 USD to get this deposit-cased card and they will give you refund for the balance. It is a very convenient card to have in Taipei. You can pretty much use it everywhere, including some taxi’s. It is more adopted than a credit card. 


But it has its limit outside of Taipei, especially in East Coast and Kenting where there are no MRT systems and few buses. The buses there don’t accept this card. You could probably still use it in the convenient store such as 7-11 or Family there. You could also use it to purchase train tickets but it is limited to certain types of train tickets.


We all know travelling is always full of surprise and uncertainties. To avoid the risk of running out of time to get your balance refund, it is a good idea to budget your deposit in the Easy Card.
