Taipei to HSR Chiayi Station - how to travel this route

Tripool offers private transfers and shared rides across Taiwan, including from Taipei to HSR Chiayi Station or anywhere in Chiayi County. Whether your trip to Taibao City is for sightseeing (Southern Branch of the National Palace Museum, 青松農場EasyFarm, YUYUPAS Cultural Park) or for an overnight stay (Chiayi Evergreen Palace Hotel, Taisugar Hotel Taipei, Ali-Shan Dengshan Hotel), we can arrange sedans, SUVs, 9-seater vans, or even mid-size buses to match your needs, saving you both the hassle of transfers at HSR Chiayi Station and unnecessary extra expenses. But if you plan to switch to public transportation after arriving at HSR Chiayi Station to continue to another county, let us help you calculate something you may not have thought about before—your hidden time cost. After all, your journey doesn’t really end at the station, does it? The traditional way of thinking is: “Home → Station A → Station B → Final Destination.” While the trip looks like it’s broken into sections, the actual total time you spend is the sum of all travel time plus all waiting and transfer time. Especially when your true destination is within about two hours or 150 kilometers of your departure point, the accumulated time spent going to the station, waiting in advance, and then catching a taxi or bus after getting off can easily exceed 90 minutes. At that point, a smarter choice is to go directly from Taipei straight to your final destination. That’s exactly what Tripool’s long-distance private transfer service was designed for. Instead of booking a ride just to the station, enter your real destination or address on our website, and you’ll be surprised—when you skip all the complicated transfers and ride with Tripool directly, not only is the total travel time shorter and the ride more comfortable, but for groups of two or more, the total cost may even be cheaper than buying multiple HSR tickets plus several taxi fares. So next time you’re heading to the station, ask yourself: are you really going to the station, or to your destination? Let Tripool’s efficient point-to-point service give you a smarter journey that saves both time and money.
