Question 1

Is taking the HSR from 關新公園 to Donggang Huaqiao Fish Market a good idea?

Accepted Answer

To take the High Speed Rail (HSR) from 關新公園 to Donggang Huaqiao Fish Market, HSR is quick but pricey. From the earliest departure at 07:02 to the latest at 22:17, there are up to 47 high-speed rail from Hsinchu to Zuoying each day. Assuming you depart from 關新公園 (East District, Hsinchu City)  and head to the nearest Hsinchu HSR station, a taxi ride would cost about NT$400 and take approximately 26 minutes. After arriving at the HSR station, the time to walk in, purchase tickets, and wait on the platform is about 15 minutes. Then, take a 83-98-minute (88 min on average) HSR ride from Hsinchu Station to Zuoying HSR Station. The ticket price is NT$1,200 per person, followed by a 10-minute walk to exit the station, wait for a ride at the taxi stand, and after a trip of about 59 minutes with a fare of NT$1,400, you will arrive at your destination at Donggang Huaqiao Fish Market (Donggang Township, Pingtung County). The entire journey, including transfers, takes a total of 3 hours and 18 minutes. Assuming 4 people traveling together, the average cost per person for the HSR and transfers is NT$1,650. In contrast, if you use Tripool for a door-to-door private car service, the average cost per person is about NT$1,470, and the journey takes 4 hours and 12 minutes. For long-distance travel, the HSR is indeed faster, but it comes with an extra transportation cost of about NT$720. Therefore, for those who are not in a major hurry, booking with Tripool is the more cost-effective option. If you are traveling in a group of three or less, you can also consider Tripool's carpooling service to save up to an additional 50% on transportation costs.

Question 2

Is it advisable to rent a car and drive from 關新公園 to Donggang Huaqiao Fish Market?

Accepted Answer

Travelers usually do not choose to rent or drive to Donggang Huaqiao Fish Market. After all, leaving a car parked for multiple days means that parking fees and rental costs become a substantial expense.

Question 3

Would it be economical to take a taxi from 關新公園 to Donggang Huaqiao Fish Market?

Accepted Answer

If you choose to take a taxi directly, in the Hsinchu City area, you can use apps to hail a cab from 55688 Taiwan Taxi, Uber, Line Go, Yoxi, etc., and if you cannot hail a cab on the street, you can also consider calling taxi fleets, such as 987白牌計程車, 金立衛星車隊, 佳富車行 to try to book a ride. Based on the meter, the estimated fare is between NT$7,795 and 9,400, but you could save up to NT$3,500 by booking with Tripool instead. However, when considering the return trip, in Pingtung County there are only about 370 licensed taxis. This is about 50% of the number of taxis in Hsinchu City, and its density is just 0.3% of the Taipei/New Taipei metro area, making it 310 times more difficult to hail a cab there. Considering all factors, Tripool is your best choice for traveling from 關新公園 to Donggang Huaqiao Fish Market in terms of both price and service quality.

Question 4

Can I add a stop location between traveling from 關新公園 to Donggang Huaqiao Fish Market?

Accepted Answer

Passengers can request additional stops for a ride from 關新公園 to Donggang Huaqiao Fish Market. Every 5 km of additional distance for a stop charges NT$200, whether it is along the way or not. It's necessary for the driver's extra time.

Question 5

Does tripool provide child car seats for private transportation service between 關新公園 to Donggang Huaqiao Fish Market?

Accepted Answer

According to the law in Taiwan, all passengers have to fasten seat belts, no matter what ages they are. For a baby below 4-year-old or a young child who cannot comfortably be on the seat with a seat belt, it is necessary to use a car seat or a safety booster. There is a check box for renting a baby car seat or a child safety booster on the check-out page. Each rental fee is NT$300. If you need multiple car seats/boosters or you need an infant car seat, please check with our online customer service first. Tripool encourages parents to bring their car seats and boosters, and, of course, it is free of charge.

Question 6

Will tripool provide a receipt for my booking? Can I use it for employee expense reimbursement?

Accepted Answer

Tripool will send a receipt through the third-party system one week after the ride. If passengers need to claim reimbursement for travel expenses, there is a blank to fill with the company's title and tax ID. It's legal, and there is no extra 5% for the receipt. Once the receipt is received via email, it can be printed out for reimbursement or saved as a PDF.

Question 7

Why does tripool charge cheaper than other taxis?

Accepted Answer

For regular long-distance travelers, they find Tripool's price may be too low to be good. On the contrary, Tripool has a high standard for selecting drivers and vehicles. Besides dropping drivers who are low rated, we also send mystery shoppers regularly to test drivers' service. Tripool's drivers are not allowed to smoke in the cars, and they have to wear masks all the time during the pandemic. We don't compromise our service for a low cost. Tripool can provide excellent service with 70~80% of the market price because of AI algorithms. We use these to dispatch vehicles to increase efficiency. Tripool can use fewer drivers to serve more travelers, especially in high seasons like Chinese New Year, Christmas, and summer vacation. Fewer drivers mean better quality control. The price on tripool's website and app are dynamic. Generally, the earlier a ride is booked, the lower price it is. Most of all, all booking are 100% refundable as long as the cancelation request is made one day before noon, no matter what the reason is. If you are preparing to go from 關新公園 to Donggang Huaqiao Fish Market, it's better to reserve it now to secure the best price.

Question 8

What type of vehicle should I book for a group of more than 9?

Accepted Answer

Some drivers in Line and Facebook groups claim that they can offer private transportation services with a group of more than 8 in a single van, but their services are illegal. According to Taiwan traffic laws, a van can only accommodate nine people maximum, including a driver. Excluding a driver, the maximum number of passengers is 8. If your group is 9 or more and you prefer to travel together in one vehicle, a bus is the only legal option. Some 9-seater van drivers modify their cars and add one or two extra chairs. If these modified vans are detected by the polices on the street, your trip will be terminated immediately. Worst of all, there are additional risks for accidents. And insurance is definitely not covering it. Don't risk your family's and friends' life for a lower price. If your group is no more than 10, we recommend hiring a 9-seater van and a 5-seater sedan. It is cheaper than booking a bus on most occasions. But if your group is more than 12, hiring a bus may be ideal. However, there are few exceptions, such as traveling to mountain areas or narrow lanes. It is better to consult our online service before booking.
