Observant bus commuters may have already noticed that the Tainan City Bus App and website have a new look. Since Tainan City now has 597 YouBike stations, this updated version also offers YouBike information, allowing users to locate nearby stations along their travel route. Additionally, the new Map Version function helps travelers plan their green transportation connections more conveniently.
On the new query interface, users can view the location of nearby YouBike stations in either map or list mode as well as see real-time updates on the number of available bikes and docks. This allows them to conveniently plan the next leg of their journey while still on the bus, ensuring a seamless connection between different green transportation options.
The Map Version query function was also upgraded in this revision. Oftentimes, regular bus routes have temporary extensions or detours to accommodate local needs. Previously, these adjustments were all displayed on the same map simultaneously, making the map extremely difficult to read. The updated version now offers a more convenient and intuitive user experience by allowing users to select the specific information they want to view - such as stops on different extended routes or the estimated arrival time at a particular stop.
Tainan is the first city in Taiwan to develop dynamic bus information service systems. The system has been operating for more than 20 years with new features continuously added to enhance user experience. Please download the latest official version of the Tainan City Bus app for the full experience.
