Wow what a awesome side adventure!! This really does look so beautiful in this mountainous area!! Yes it was enjoyable!!👍👍😃

[@ActionKid]

Much appreciated, it's such a gorgeous bus ride

[@deborahroberts1854]

I didn't realize you could use Google maps out of the United States. You got a beautiful day for your journey and beautiful views! Thank you.

[@ActionKid]

Yes, Google Maps has worked everywhere I've traveled to so far!

[@jarihult]

These transportation videos are my favorites because they offers many different options to see how to travel 😎Informative and great video and it’s nice to see how efficient trains,buses etc are in the many countries 🙂Thank you for sharing this enjoyable and relaxing transportation video A K🙂👍!!!

[@hectorvrkid4694]

Same

[@ActionKid]

Much appreciated, glad you've been enjoying them!

[@michaelteng8]

I'm enjoying all your Taiwan vids. You should mention that the MRT makes announcements in four languages. The first is Mandarin, the second is Taiwanese, the third is in Hakka and the fourth is English.

[@ActionKid]

Thank you so much! The MRT does indeed do that

[@woffles_8864]

six languages now. In order: Mandarin, English, Japanese [major], Korean [major], Taiwanese, Hakka.

[@cak813]

I’m amazed at how spotlessly clean these stations are. Such a difference from NYC. Are the subway and rail stations open 24 hours?

[@ActionKid]

Yes, they're super clean! The subway and rail stations do shut down starting around midnight.

[@cak813]

@@ActionKid Thanks!!

[@woffles_8864]

Last train leaves at around 1 o'clock. They use the downtime for essential maintenance (track grinding etc.) and cleaning.

[@mical888]

Just bump with you on the MRT Green Line Songshan. Hello!

[@rileybarker7482]

Great video buddy I love your channel

[@longduong5212]

If you ever go to Hong Kong, the metro stations are very similar AK in terms of sheer size.

[@DonnaThu_]

Thank you for the helpful video. I'll be using this info in a few months!

[@smokeyC-f7w]

Hi Actionkid are your from Taiwan? Heritage wise...Just curious

[@sonce9303]

if bus seat is full.. did we need to stand more than half hour ??? or driver will stop ppl in if bus full?

[@brainwashkenny1]

If the bus only drive in city, driver won't care about seat's problem. It the bus need to drive through any highway, driver must ensure every passsenger got seat.

[@_Toto_.]

14:30 is implanted payment chip?

[@woonfaseng8737]

1 full hour to get there on bus via songshan .... too long probably !

[@VirtualHonk]

do you gonna go to other city in Taiwan? As a Taiwanese I would say most of the cities are unfriendly to pedestrian

[@VirtualHonk]

just wish you luck on exploring other cities

[@hectorvrkid4694]

You're such a pro with navigating and transferring from train to bus. 👍 The bus ride was bumpy, but you can see the gorgeous scenery. ⛰😍 Nice to see Elena again in this video. 😃 Thank you for sharing this informative, adventurous, and enjoyable train and bus rides, AK! 🤗

[@ActionKid]

You're welcome, I know this video will be useful for many

[@jackiewangcc99]

Hello AK, You need a secretary in Taiwan

[@boazvahalla]

AK You sounds so much lie my friend Joseph Park. Is so different the the NYC MTA.i would have an hard time navgate thru Taiwan. It remind me of the Atlanta MARTA.😅

[@OUTNABOUTwithYoursTrulyLIZZOC]

Nice day + scenery + Bumpy ride =. Enjoy your trip!

[@thekreativeculture9642]

wow that bus is noisy (rattling) . Kind of reminds me of the older MTA busses with those folding wheelchair seats that rattle when nobody sat on them

[@moirafincham4317]
