What is TPass?
TPass is a commuter monthly pass for the Taiwan Living Area promoted by the Taiwan Ministry of Transportation and Communications. The TPass EasyCard and iPass are available for the three major living areas of North, Central and South, and are tailored to different areas to provide commuters with convenient and inexpensive public transportation services!
The “T” in TPass stands for Taiwan and Transport, and also conveys the concepts of Together, Tour and Trust.
The main visual of the ticket card is in green color, and the circle on the front symbolizes the diversified transportation linking different social circles, while the large and small circles represent the cooperation among the central government, local governments and industry players (the color of the small circles varies by cities and counties). The design on the back features illustrations of commuters and seven different types of public transportation to bring out the diversity of the monthly pass’s ridership!
