Depending on the distance to one's destination, intracity bus fares run from NT$15 to NT$25. Though buses run within all cities where our teaching opportunities are located, their routes are not so extensive or frequent as they are in Taipei where, owing to traffic congestion, buses are necessary. In southern and central Taiwan buses are rarely used by teachers for intracity travel, but they are okay for inter-city travel. Note that those in areas outside Taipei might want to consider getting a scooter.
