TW Transit Radar brings Taiwan’s rail map, upcoming trains and journey planning together for everyday commutes and trips around Taiwan. FOUR INTERFACE LANGUAGES Choose English, Japanese, Korean or Traditional Chinese, or follow your device language. Foreign-language interfaces pair official English station names with Chinese for easy comparison with signs. Search by English or Chinese name, or station code. FIND YOUR NEXT TRAIN • Tap a station on the map to see departures. • Metro and light rail departures are grouped by direction, with express and commuter services identified. Show 2, 4, 6 or 8 trains per direction. • Check first and last train information for metro and light rail. • Taipei Metro Red Line uses official departure schedules, including Guangci/Fengtian Temple and short-turn trains. • For Taiwan Railways and THSR, choose a query time, filter by destination, and view stops and travel times. Taiwan Railways uses its official clockwise/counterclockwise directions; THSR uses southbound/northbound. • Pin a Taiwan Railways or THSR train and follow your journey above the map. Taiwan Railways delays and positions appear when available; THSR progress is estimated from its timetable.
