Recently, I often travel between Taipei and Yilan. Although it is only an hour away, the ticket price is 131, which is not too expensive. It is not far away by car.
But you also know that I am often either drinking or on the way to drink, so it is most practical to take a ride without the fatigue of traveling long distances.
I read the news and said that the monthly pass of Bei Pak Gyi will be available in September. It only costs 2,300 and can be used for unlimited travel on buses, trains and MRT. It seems to be quite practical. After all, you can get back your money directly after taking ten trips.
Today, September 1st, I was just about to go back to Taipei to deal with some matters. I asked to apply for this monthly pass model at the transfer station. As a result, the service staff told me that there was only news out, and there was no official document for them to sell, so I had to buy the original version first. The 1,800 Beiyi monthly pass will be changed based on the policy after it is officially put on sale.
In fact, this Beiyi monthly pass is quite cheap and very suitable for commuters. It is cost-effective as long as you take more than seven round trips in a month. It was a mistake not to buy it before, and you spent a lot of commuting expenses in vain.
I found that many people work in Taipei and then live in Yilan. Not only is the rent much cheaper, but the air and water quality are also very good. To be honest, they are just exchanging time for money. But in fact, I lived in Fuzhong before and commuted to the East District for work. It takes almost an hour by MRT.
So if you don’t make enough money and don’t want to live in a small place like a birdcage, commuting from other counties and cities every day seems to be a good strategy. After all, it saves money and is much more comfortable.
But if you don’t have free control over your work, and you’re not a regular 9-to-5 office worker, you may have to think about it carefully!
