THSRC operations adhere to the principle of providing passengers with safe and speedy transportation. After more than 15 years of effort, we have now become the transportation backbone of Taiwan's western corridor. THSRC provides intercity high-speed rail services via 12 stations: Nangang, Taipei, Banqiao, Taoyuan, Hsinchu, Miaoli, Taichung, Changhua, Yunlin, Chiayi, Tainan, and Zuoying, and we are constantly enhancing passenger services through service planning, promotional activities, and multiple ticket-purchase channels to expand market share. THSRC operations continued to be affected by the COVID-19 pandemic in 2022, but after domestic epidemic conditions plateaued in May, restrictions were gradually lifted and people began co-existing with the virus and resuming their normal lives.
