When passengers use the Taiwan Pass to exchange for the "TR-Pass 5-day pass" at a Taiwan Railways ticket counter, they must immediately select a "start date" (which must be within 30 days from the day of redemption) to begin using the pass continuously from that selected start date.
It is "not allowed" to skip or choose different dates for usage, and once the start date is selected, it cannot be changed.
For example, if a passenger goes to a Taiwan Railways ticket counter before July 1st to exchange for the TR Pass, they can choose any day between July 1st and July 30th as the start date and use it continuously for 5 days from the selected start date. If the pass is not fully used within the validity period stated on the ticket, it will expire.

Q12: Does the “TR-PASS 5-day pass" include seat reservations?

A: You can reserve a seat in advance at any Taiwan Railways station ticket window across Taiwan or make an online reservation (but you still need to pick up your ticket in person at the station).

1.To reserve a seat, you must present the envelope (including this ticket) to the ticket counter staff for processing.
2.Once the ticket is sold and confirmed, the validity date cannot be changed.
3.Once the seat reservation is completed, the seat ticket is only valid for the train on the date of issue. For each train and each day, you are only allowed to reserve a seat for the same section once. If a seat has already been reserved for the same time period on the same day, you may not request a seat reservation for the same section again with the same ticket unless you have cancelled the reservation before the "boarding time" on the seat ticket. In such cases, you are only allowed to carry the seat ticket and ask the station to endorse it for boarding the nearest train of the same or equivalent class without occupying a seat. However, this rule does not apply to train types that do not allow travel without a ticket during the sales period (for example, the Puyuma Express or Taroko Express trains).

Q13: Can the TR-PASS 5-day pass be reserved online?

A:
1.Reservations can be made at any train station ticket window across Taiwan, and you can also use online booking (but you still need to go to the ticket window to pick up your tickets).
2.If using online booking information, please pay special attention! Go to the train station window to reserve your seat with the "unpaid status" from your online reservation, and bring your online booking information to the Taiwan Railways ticket window to reserve your seat.
3.However, booking information for which the credit card payment has been completed online, physical train tickets that have been paid for with cash or a credit card, or mobile tickets that have already been picked up, "cannot" be used to reserve seats with the tickets provided by TR-PASS.

Q14: After using the TR-PASS 5-day pass, can reserved seat tickets be modified/canceled?

A: Cancellations or ticket exchanges are possible!
To cancel or exchange a ticket (seat reservation) after making a reservation, you should bring the unused seat ticket and the TR-PASS voucher to the train station before the departure time stated on the seat ticket.
You can apply for the cancellation or exchange without a handling fee; however, this is limited to once per day for the same section or train number. If you wish to exchange the ticket (seat reservation) a second time on the same day, a fee will be charged according to the regular ticket rules, which is determined by the number of days before the travel

Q3: Will I receive a physical Taiwan PASS after purchase/activation?

A: No, Taiwan PASS is an electronic certificate. Please download the Taiwan PASS APP and activate it by entering the "redemption code". After activation, you can see the contained products. Select the product you want to use, and a QR code/redemption code will be displayed.

Q4: What is the validity period of the product?

A: Activation must be completed within 365 days after purchase!
Once any item is activated, the pass has a 7-day validity period, meaning it must be fully redeemed within 7 days from the first use (including the first day of use). For example: If the first item is activated on July 1, 2024, the latest redemption deadline for the remaining items in the pass would be July 7, 2024.

Q5: Can Taiwan PASS | Taiwan Railways version be refunded after purchase?

A: If the "exchange voucher" has not been registered and exchanged, you can unconditionally request a refund or change at the original purchase channel. Once the "exchange voucher" has been registered, it cannot be refunded or exchanged.

Q6: Where can I exchange the "TR-PASS 5-day pass"?

A: The 18 stations of Taiwan Railways are: Taitung, Hualien, Luodong, Yilan, Nangang, Songshan, Taipei, Banqiao, Taoyuan, Zhongli, Hsinchu, Taichung, Xinwuri, Chiayi, Tainan, Xinzuoying, Kaohsiung, and Fangliao.

Q7: Do I have to use the TR-PASS for Five Days of Unlimited Travel immediately upon exchange?

A: When passengers use the Taiwan Pass to exchange for the "TR-Pass 5-day pass" at a Taiwan Railways ticket counter, they must immediately select a "start date" (which must be within 30 days from the day of redemption) to begin using the pass continuously from that selected start date. It is "not allowed" to skip or choose different dates for usage, and once the start date is selected, it cannot be changed. For example, if a passenger goes to a Taiwan Railways ticket counter before July 1st to exchange for the TR Pass, they can choose any day between July 1st and July 30th as the start date and use it continuously for 5 days from the selected start date. If the pass is not fully used within the validity period stated on the ticket, it will expire.

Q8: Does the “TR-PASS 5-day pass" include seat reservations?

A: You can reserve a seat in advance at any Taiwan Railways station ticket window across Taiwan or make an online reservation (but you still need to pick up your ticket in person at the station).

1.To reserve a seat, you must present the envelope (including this ticket) to the ticket counter staff for processing.
2.Once the ticket is sold and confirmed, the validity date cannot be changed.
3.Once the seat reservation is completed, the seat ticket is only valid for the train on the date of issue. For each train and each day, you are only allowed to reserve a seat for the same section once. If a seat has already been reserved for the same time period on the same day, you may not request a seat reservation for the same section again with the same ticket unless you have cancelled the reservation before the "boarding time" on the seat ticket. In such cases, you are only allowed to carry the seat ticket and ask the station to endorse it for boarding the nearest train of the same or equivalent class without occupying a seat. However, this rule does not apply to train types that do not allow travel without a ticket during the sales period (for example, the Puyuma Express or Taroko Express trains).

Q9: Can the TR-PASS 5-day pass be reserved online?

A:
1.Reservations can be made at any train station ticket window across Taiwan, and you can also use online booking (but you still need to go to the ticket window to pick up your tickets).
2.If using online booking information, please pay special attention! Go to the train station window to reserve your seat with the "unpaid status" from your online reservation, and bring your online booking information to the Taiwan Railways ticket window to reserve your seat.
3.However, booking information for which the credit card payment has been completed online, physical train tickets that have been paid for with cash or a credit card, or mobile tickets that have already been picked up, "cannot" be used to reserve seats with the tickets provided by TR-PASS.

Q10: After using the TR-PASS 5-day pass, can reserved seat tickets be modified/canceled?

A: Cancellations or ticket exchanges are possible!
To cancel or exchange a ticket (seat reservation) after making a reservation, you should bring the unused seat ticket and the TR-PASS voucher to the train station before the departure time stated on the seat ticket. You can apply for the cancellation or exchange without a handling fee; however, this is limited to once per day for the same section or train number. If you wish to exchange the ticket (seat reservation) a second time on the same day, a fee will be charged according to the regular ticket rules, which is determined by the number of days before the travel
