I’m in Chiayi, to take a flight to Punghu. I figured I could take a bus from the train station, where my hotel was, to the airport. To my surprise there are no buses to the airport. The closest bus stop is at the Topic of Cancer monument, which is a 15 minute walk to the airport.
I going guess even with he taxi fare, lit less than flying out of Tainan (has bus), and Kaoshiung (bus, and rail service) from where you are? There seems to be one or two flights from Chiayi airport thus no bus, but to TPE airport there is a bus just more business I guess)
Heh heh, I made it a personal goal to get around Chiayi, from last night when I arrived to this afternoon when I flew out, without using a taxi or renting a scooter. All day today was local trains, buses, and walking. I’m even taking a bus right now from Penghu airport to downtown Magong, first time ever.
I’m saving my money for all the little islands I’ll be visiting in Penghu, which means lodging, scooter rentals, and boat rides between each island, etc.
Jeeze, I never knew. Makes sense, every county seems to have an airport,.evenp pingtung. But just figured government and military used some of them.
Guess now given the convenience of the trains, and relative close proximaty from them, buses and taxis make airports in every county a bit useless. Probably tainan, ktown, taichung, taipei and taoyuan are good enough. Taiwan isnt THAT big hehe.
