Kuo-Kuang Bus 1819 (Taoyuan Airport - Taipei Transfer Station) Round Trip

Must Do Experiences

• Ride the 1819 late at night after a red-eye arrival and glide into Taipei without the taxi price tag

• Use your ticket stub to redeem a free shuttle to Ximending — Taipei's vibrant shopping and nightlife district

• Stay connected on board with free Wi-Fi and USB charging ports while you plan your next stop

Hidden Gems

• The round-trip ticket saves you money compared to buying two one-way tickets at the counter

• Buses run every 20-30 minutes around the clock, so you never need to stress about missing the last ride

• The stop at Taipei Transfer Station puts you within walking distance of the Taipei Main Station and easy transfers to the MRT

What Makes it Special

• Guaranteed seated travel on all departures — no standing in crowded buses

• 24-hour service with frequent departures makes it ideal for any flight schedule

• Ticket stub redemption for a free shuttle to Ximending is a bonus most airport transfers don't offer

Perfect Timing

When to visit for the best experience

This service operates 24/7, so it's perfect for red-eye flights arriving late at night or early morning departures. For the most comfortable experience, consider traveling during off-peak hours between 10 PM and 6 AM when the buses are less crowded.

Photography Guide

Capture the perfect shots

• Capture the modern interior of the Kuo-Kuang bus with its clean design and USB charging stations — great for travel vlogs

• Photograph the Taoyuan Airport exterior at night for a striking urban travel shot

• Snap the Taipei skyline from the bus window as you approach the city for a dramatic arrival photo

Cultural Etiquette

Respect local customs and traditions

Taiwanese bus culture values courtesy and order — passengers typically wait for others to exit before boarding. It's customary to keep voices low and offer your seat to elderly passengers or those with young children. Tipping is not expected on public and intercity buses in Taiwan.
