Tw Transit Check
by TariffMonkee in Other
Taiwan real-time transit via TDX: bus arrival predictions, TRA rail live board, THSR high-speed rail daily train info, and MRT arrival boards (Taipei, Kaohsiung, Taoyuan, Kaohsiung Light Rail) for a given stop, route or station. Passes TDX data through and does not plan journeys. A bus estimate of -1 means the bus already passed. TRA, THSR and MRT return TDX's raw fields.
