Hsinchu Passenger Transport Withdraws from Miaoli Area Routes
Hsinchu Passenger Transport will cease operations in the Miaoli area starting today, September 16th. Over 30 people from Tongluo Township, Miaoli County, gathered at the train station to commemorate the occasion by taking the Hsinchu Passenger Bus 5658 together.
The event, “Let’s Commemorate a Hsinchu Passenger Bus,” was organized by Xu Yufeng, representative of Tongluo Village in Miaoli County. The goal was to bring the community together to bid farewell to the Hsinchu Passenger Transport route, which has been in operation for many years.
Xu Yufeng shared that taking the Hsinchu Passenger Bus is a cherished memory for many people, and it has played a significant role in their lives. He encouraged the public to join in and take the bus together on its last day of operation.
The event saw a diverse group of people, ranging from kindergarten children to 90-year-old grandparents, come together to take the bus. One participant, Mr. Xu, even brought his well-preserved Hsinchu passenger bus monthly pass from high school, which added a touching moment to the occasion.
The Hsinchu City Supervision Station announced that Hsinchu Passenger Transport would stop operating passenger transport routes in the Miaoli area, causing inconvenience to people traveling between Hsinchu and Miaoli. However, Yaji Company will take over the routes, ensuring minimal disruption to commuters.
Starting today, Yaji Company will operate 10 routes previously managed by Hsinchu Passenger Transport. The driving route and stops will remain the same as the original Hsinchu passenger transport route, providing a seamless transition for passengers.
