｜Usage Instructions

• Once the Taiwan Railways 3-Day TR-PASS ticket has been redeemed and confirmed, the validity period cannot be changed.
• Seat reservations, cancellations, refunds, or exchanges can be handled at ticket counters in all Taiwan Railways stations.
• For seat reservations, passengers should present the pass cover (with the pass inside) to the ticket counter staff.
• It is possible to use online booking records (in unpaid status) for seat reservations at the ticket counter, but tickets purchased online with credit card payment, physical tickets purchased with cash or credit card, or mobile tickets that have already been issued, cannot be converted to the TR-PASS tickets (no refund for the original ticket purchase).
• During the validity period, passengers can make unlimited seat reservations and rides across all Taiwan Railways train services. However, if a seat has already been reserved for a particular time period, passengers cannot make another reservation for the same period unless the existing reservation is canceled at the ticket counter before the departure time.
• During the validity period, if passengers do not make a seat reservation at the ticket counter in advance, they are considered to be traveling without occupying a seat. However, the following trains require seat reservations: Puyuma, Taroko, Tze-Chiang (EMU3000), and Group Trains. The pass is not valid for seat reservations or boarding on Tourist Trains, Cruise-Style Trains, Real-Name Registration Trains, Chartered Trains, other trains designated by Taiwan Railways, "Business Cars," and Premium Cars (e.g., Business Cars of Tze-Chiang (EMU3000)). Violations will be treated as traveling without a valid ticket, and penalties will be imposed according to the Taiwan Railways Passenger Transport Agreement.

1. For the protection of passengers’ rights and proper use of the ticket, please ensure that you use the Taiwan PASS by scanning the QR code at the automatic gates when entering and exiting the station. If any abnormal usage occurs, such as missing entry or exit records, passengers must proceed to the ticket counter for assistance. If a passenger cannot provide proof of the departure station, a fare adjustment will be required according to the "no-ticket travel" policy, with an additional charge of 50% of the fare for the traveled distance.
2. Within the validity period, passengers may reserve seats and travel on any Taiwan Railways trains without limitation on the number of rides or zones. However, if a seat reservation has already been made for a particular time slot, the passenger cannot use the same ticket to reserve another seat for an overlapping time period unless the original seat reservation is canceled at the ticket counter before departure.
3. If a passenger does not reserve a seat in advance, they may travel without a seat reservation. However, for Puyuma, Taroko, Tze-Chiang (EMU3000), and group trains, a reserved seat is mandatory before boarding. Additionally, this ticket cannot be used to reserve seats or board the following trains: sightseeing trains, cruise-style trains, real-name registration trains, chartered trains, other designated trains, business-class carriages, and premium-class seating such as the business class of Tze-Chiang (EMU3000). Violators will be handled according to Taiwan Railways' "no-ticket travel" policy.
4. When exchanging the Taiwan PASS at a ticket counter, passengers must select an "activation date" immediately (within 30 days from the exchange date, including the exchange date itself). The ticket must be used consecutively from the activation date and cannot be used on non-consecutive days. Once the activation date is selected, it cannot be changed.For example, if a passenger exchanges a Taiwan PASS (TR-PASS 5-day version) on July 1, they can select any activation date between July 1 and July 30, and must use the ticket for five consecutive days after activation. Similarly, for a Taiwan PASS EasyGO (TR-PASS 3-day version), the ticket must be used for three consecutive days after activation. Any unused validity after the printed expiration date will become invalid.
5. During the Lunar New Year peak travel period or any other announced suspension periods, this ticket will be temporarily unavailable for use and cannot be extended beyond the suspension period. Please check the ticket's validity before purchasing.
6. Seat reservations must be handled at ticket counters by presenting the physical ticket. If a passenger has an unpaid online reservation, they may use this reservation at the ticket counter for seat booking. However, tickets that have been paid for online, physical tickets purchased with cash or credit card, and mobile tickets that have already been collected cannot be exchanged for a seat reservation using Taiwan PASS (refunds for previously purchased tickets are not available).
7. Once the ticket has been exchanged and confirmed, the validity period cannot be changed. Since this ticket allows unlimited travel within the designated period, it cannot be refunded after activation (starting from 00:00 on the selected activation date), except in cases where Taiwan Railways Corporation (TRC) is responsible or due to force majeure events, as verified by station or train staff. Additionally, this ticket is not eligible for duplicate seat compensation, air-conditioning refunds, or delay compensation under TRC regulations.
8. Once a seat reservation has been completed, the seat ticket is only valid for the designated train on the selected date. Each Taiwan PASS can only be used to reserve a seat once per train per day for the same travel segment. If a passenger has already made a reservation for a specific time slot and does not cancel the reservation before the scheduled departure time, they cannot use the same Taiwan PASS to reserve another seat for the same travel segment. Instead, they may request station staff to validate their ticket for non-reserved seating on the next available train of the same class. However, if the train type is restricted to reserved-seat passengers only (e.g., Puyuma, Taroko trains), this provision does not apply.
9. If a passenger wishes to cancel or change their reserved seat (seat ticket), they must present both the unused seat ticket and their Taiwan PASS before the scheduled departure time at the station to process the change without a handling fee. However, this is limited to one change per day for the same route or train. A second seat change on the same day will incur a handling fee based on standard ticket refund rules, which vary depending on the number of days before the departure date.
10. In cases of service disruptions or typhoon impacts (from the issuance of a land-based typhoon warning until its cancellation), if a passenger's travel plans are affected, causing train cancellations, delays, or the inability to board, they may apply for a date change or ticket refund at a TRC station under the following conditions:
    1. Unused tickets (not yet activated): If the validity period falls within the typhoon warning or service disruption period, the activation date can be changed, but refunds will not be issued.
    2. Activated tickets: If the validity period falls within the typhoon warning or service disruption period, passengers may apply for a refund, but date changes will not be permitted since the ticket has already been activated.
11. Lost or stolen tickets will not be reissued, so passengers must safeguard their Taiwan PASS. If there is a mismatch between the ticket holder and the registered identity, they must purchase a new ticket according to standard TRC rules.
12. This ticket does not include access to Taiwan Railways’ online meal reservation service.
13. For any matters not covered in this notice, TRC's regulations and public announcements will apply. For full details, please visit Taiwan PASS’s official website: https://twpass.tw.
