Hi everyone,

Do you know if there is some buses from Danshui to some parts of Taipei? (is there a way to avoid the MTR?)

Thanks in advance!

I personally know that bus 857 goes from Danshui to Luzhou. In other words, you might want to consider staying in Danshui

There’s one that goes fairly close to main station. Can’t remember the number though and it likely takes three times as long as the MRT.

Bus 857 goes to Banciao.

Thanks for the replies.
Is there one that goes to Taipei Main Station, Shilin etc?

I checked this morning and 756 goes near main station. Would still be a lot slower than MRT

Why not use the MRT?

Ok thanks I will check the 756
I prefer buses because you see the city, you can be seated etc…

The tamshui line is mostly above ground until it gets to just past chientan I think. so theres lots to see. And theres often seating available. Especially if you start from TAmshui .

I hate taking buses because it is incredibly slow. How long does it take to do Danshui to Taipei? I think it’s about 45 mins by MRT.

From my place at Hongshulin (one stop before Danshui) it’s about 30 mins to Taipei Main. And I can almost always get a seat.
