Exploring a new city for a foreigner is easy when the urban fabric is structured by train networks, especially in non English-speaking countries. MRT map (or MTR in some countries) helps reduce chances of getting yourself into verbal interaction with the locals. As long as you can read the map and understand how interchange of lines works, you’re trouble free. Thank goodness, in Taipei the same kind of tool is provided for bus services as well. Tourists can visit places outside the MRT’s coverage by doing the following:
1. Check out the name of the bus stop near your destination and try to memorise the Chinese characters.
2. Locate the above on the bus map.
3. Count how many stops away from where you are.
