Douliu Baseball Field→Taoyuan Airport (TPE)

To take the High Speed Rail (HSR) from Douliu Baseball Field to Taoyuan Airport (TPE), HSR is comfortable and quick but pricey and has difficult taxi access. However, from the first train at 06:34 to the last train at 22:33, there are only up to 27 HSR trains from Yunlin to Taoyuan a day. If your schedule is tight or you might miss the last train, you should consider booking a private transfer. Assuming you depart from Douliu Baseball Field (Douliu City, Yunlin County) and head to the nearest Yunlin HSR station, a taxi ride would cost about NT$400 and take approximately 29 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 52-68-minute (61 min on average) HSR ride from Yunlin Station to Taoyuan HSR Station. The ticket price is NT$780 per person, followed by a 5-minute walk to exit the station, wait for a ride at the taxi stand, and after a trip of about 20 minutes with a fare of NT$400, you will arrive at your destination at Taoyuan Airport (TPE) (Dayuan District, Taoyuan City). The entire journey, including transfers, takes a total of 2 hours and 10 minutes. Assuming 4 people traveling together, the average cost per person for the HSR and transfers is NT$980. However, in Yunlin County, there are only just over 200 licensed taxis. The taxi density is 0.4% of that in the Taipei/New Taipei metro area. In other words, hailing a taxi on the spot is 300 times more difficult than in a major city like Taipei. Even if you are lucky enough to hail a cab, a minority of taxi drivers in Yunlin County may not use the meter, and might overcharge or take detours, especially with passengers who appear to be from out of town. In contrast, if you use Tripool for a door-to-door private car service, the average cost per person is about NT$940, and the journey takes 2 hours and 42 minutes. For long-distance travel, the HSR is indeed faster, but it comes with an extra transportation cost of about NT$160. 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.

But if you cannot book in advance or prefer to hail a cab on the spot, be aware that in the whole Yunlin County, there are only about 200 licensed taxis.

There are many gypsy cabs or illegal taxis in Line and Facebook groups. Their fares are cheap but with many risks. If the cabs are pulled over by polices, passengers cannot continue the trip. If there is an accident, none of the insurance companies will settle a claim. Worst of all, illegal drivers may conduct crimes without any trace. Don't put your life at risk for just saving a few bucks. On the other hand, tripool contracts with legal drivers without any criminal record. All vehicles provide up to $5 million in insurance. The easiest way to distinguish a legal vehicle is the car plate number. Unless the initial character of the car plate number is either T or R, the car is 100% illegal for taxi service.
