Until the end of August, you can take a one-day trip within Taiwan for only NT$100! The Happy Bus GO scheme, which is part of the Ministry of Economic Affairs’ plan to increase domestic demand, provides more than 100 bus routes to more than 400 attractions in 23 of Taiwan’s cities and counties. By spending only NT$100, citizens can travel and stimulate the economy at the same time. Because it is really cheap, the deal has been well received since being offered.
Those interested in seeing Taiwan on a Happy Bus can go to the Web site at http://www.happybus.org.tw/ to check information on travel routes and registration procedures. Once tickets are paid for, they can go and catch the bus on the dates they booked. The deal is only offered from Monday to Friday, with a limit of 40 people per bus and it runs on a first-come, first-served basis. Routes include one-day trips to Yangmingshan and Jiufen in the north, Sun Moon Lake in central Taiwan, Hualien County’s Taroko Gorge in the east and a Cape No.7 theme trip in Kenting.
Since going online, the Happy Bus GO scheme has been well received, especially for trips departing from Taipei, with all trips to Taipingshan in Yilan and Sun Moon Lake in Nantou being booked out before the end of March. There has also been a lot of interest from travelers wishing to go to Taoyuan County to appreciate flowers.

Because these trips are aimed at stimulating the economy, itineraries will include visits to shops in the hope that everyone can do some shopping and help boost the economy.
It is expected that the Happy Bus GO scheme will run a total of 2,000 buses and attract 80,000 tourists, which will create more than NT$1 billion in business opportunities and more than 1,200 job opportunities.
