I don't know if it's me getting used to Taipei bus system or what. Yesterday I tried to take bus from the main station to Stella Matutina Girls' High School in Taichung. Since I dont take bus in Taichung very often that I'm not familiar with the bus system. So I checked Taichung bus system website first: http://citybus.tccg.gov.tw/ which really sucks compared to Taipei one. Why I said so is because it's not so easy to use. For example, if you want go from place A to place B, and you have no idea about if there's any way for you to take bus to there or what number of bus you should take. However, Taipei bus system will tell you everything, everything you query! Here it is: http://www.taipeibus.taipei.gov.tw/ You could just choose your start and destination by specify the name of the road or specify scene spots or traffic spots like MRT, and then they would show you all of the ways which works, like you could take NO. 11 bus to And also for each way they will show you the distance, like how far it is, 11.2 KM or what. For me, this facility is really fantastic!! I think taking bus to anywhere in Taipei would not be a problem to me even I don't take bus usually. Somwhow, it's really difficult for me to take bus in Taichung, even I had lived in Taichung for 18 years. What is more sarcastic is, I even don't know where to take bus at the main station!? Let's say, Taichung bus system is a bitch.

I think that if goverment want to improve the traffic in Taichung, the first thing they need to do is not charge for parking, it should be making bus system better. Then the problems of parking and traffic jam will get better as people like to take bus rather than driving. What do you think?

hum, looks like I should go to compete for the Taichung city mayor!?
