Trains
In March, 12Go opened direct sales of Taiwan High-Speed Rail (THSR). THSR is a railway line crossing Taiwan from north to south, which runs high-speed bullet trains. These trains reach a speed of 300 km / h and cover a distance of 335 km in 90 minutes.
Despite the fact that these trains were built using the technology of the Japanese high-speed network Shinkansen, in Taiwan, the fare is not as high as in Japan. All stations of the Taiwanese branch are connected with the centers of settlements by the metro line or free shuttle-bass.
THSR fully regulates the sale price, so no one can independently increase the commission or take additional payments. But we will honestly share it with you, 50/50.
Examples of agent commissions on popular bookings: one way ticket from Taipei to Kaohsiung – 41 NTD
