Getting around Taipei
MRT, YouBike, and when a taxi is cheaper than the queue.
The MRT
Buy an EasyCard at any station machine; it works on the MRT, buses, and most convenience stores.
The network covers every café on this site within a ten-minute walk.
Taxis and scooters
Taxis are cheap by regional standards and metered. After 23:00, the surcharge is worth it over waiting for a bus.
Scooters need an international permit and nerves; most visitors should not bother.
