The Transportation Bureau of Kaohsiung City Government collaborated with Kaohsiung City Motor Vehicles Office of Directorate General of Highways, MOTC to promote service for marginal villages. Their aim is to implement the vision of taking care of senior residents by introducing shuttle taxi service to remote villages throughout Taiwan, where the proportion of older people exceeds 25% and external transport services are inconvenient (without any bus stop within 500 meters). On April 15, the shuttle service was first provided to Jhongliao Village, Cishan District to implement social welfare policies, where there was no bus service in more than 20 years.
