Is your TPASS monthly pass really paying off? Your EasyCard history shows NT$0 for pass rides, so you never see what each trip would have cost. TPASS.calc records every commute, works out fares, transfer discounts and rewards, and shows you exactly how much your pass has saved. Supports all 30 TPASS plans across Taiwan, plus the THSR commuter pass. No monthly pass? Use a flexible cycle to track your commuting costs anyway. [Automatic Fares] Built-in fares for metro, light rail, TRA, THSR, intercity buses and city buses in 21 cities and counties. Pick your origin and destination, and the fare is filled in from official data, with no manual lookup. [Transfer Discounts and Rewards] Applies the local transfer discounts and resident offers for your plan, and estimates frequent-rider and TPASS 2.0 rewards. Every discount is shown, so you can see how it was calculated. [Break-Even Progress at a Glance] The dashboard adds up your daily rides, so you can see your break-even progress, what you actually paid and how it compares with full fare. [Log Trips Your Way] • Voice: say "MRT from Zhongxiao Fuxing to Taipei Main Station" and it's logged. Describe a transfer in one sentence and it splits into two trips, with Apple Intelligence parsing supported • Favorite Routes: log multi-leg trips with one tap • Google Maps: share a transit route to the app to import it • Widgets, Apple Watch and Siri: log trips without opening the app [Auto-Detect Trips] Once turned on, the app uses low-power background detection and prepares a suggestion when you arrive, with the mode, stations, fare and transfer discounts filled in. Tap to confirm. This feature is off by default, and it's your choice whether to use it. [Multi-Modal Route Planner] Enter a start and destination to compare routes across metro, TRA, buses and intercity buses, with the estimated fare after transfers. [Insights and Commute Recaps] Commute heatmaps, break-even race, spending trends and route rankings help you understand how you travel. Create a shareable commute recap card, and earn badges based on your riding habits with the Commuter DNA achievement system. [Take Your Reports With You] Export a PDF Commute Report by cycle, month or custom period, and export or import your trips as CSV. [Works on iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch] Log on your iPhone, explore your stats on iPad, and check your break-even progress on your wrist. [Your Data, Your Control] Your trips are stored on your device and can be backed up to your own iCloud. No account required. Auto-detection decisions are made on your phone, and your location stays on your device by default.
