"Citizen Exclusive Ride Code" is an intelligent extension of the "Taichung Citizen Exclusive Transport Card.” It continues the original transport card benefits while offering a new mobile fare payment experience, allowing eligible citizens to enjoy public transit discounts directly via their smartphone.

To provide citizens with a more diverse and convenient fare payment experience using mobile devices, making it easier to access and use public transportation.

By binding your Taichung Go App with any one of the supported electronic payment providers—Easy Wallet, iPASS MONEY, or icash Pay—you can scan the ride code when boarding and alighting from Taichung City buses to enjoy the Citizen Exclusive Double Ten Bus Discount.

The Ride Code offers a more convenient way to ride—there is no need to carry a physical transport card. You can use your mobile device to scan the Citizen Exclusive Ride Code and still enjoy the Double Ten Bus Discount.

Yes. You may still complete in-person identity verification at a designated card-binding location without applying for a physical card. If you meet the eligibility requirements for the Citizen Exclusive Transport Card, you can use the Ride Code only, without the need for a physical card.

The Citizen Exclusive Ride Code must be accessed through the Taichung Go app in order to receive the Double Ten Bus Discount. Only QR codes displaying the “Citizen Exclusive” label are eligible for this benefit. If you use a regular ride code from an electronic payment provider directly, the system will charge you the full fare, and you will not receive the citizen exclusive Double Ten Bus Discount.

If you meet the eligibility for the Citizen Exclusive Transport Card, you may use the Ride Code to enjoy the Double Ten Bus Discount (10 km free + a maximum fare of 10 NTD for distances exceeding 10 km) within Taichung City.
