2026-09-01	Public transport	Daily high-speed rail commute wins converts over Taipei rents	A commuter who travels between Taichung and Taipei by high-speed rail every working day says the arrangement beats renting in the capital, arguing that the transport costs come out cheaper than a Taipei apartment while delivering an addictively better quality of life. The account has fuelled a lively debate about super-commuting in Taiwan, where fast rail links increasingly let workers trade daily travel time for more space and lower living costs outside the expensive Taipei housing market.
