To boost the promotion of low-carbon, green bus in pursuit of the City’s sustainable development, the Bureau has actively assisted bus operators in getting the central government’s subsidies for replacing old buses with electric buses after launching the first electric bus fleet in Taiwan for the Cishan-Meinong Express Bus service in 2013.
By the end of January 2022, the number of the City’s electric buses has reached 194, which accounts for 19.4% of all buses in the City. Expectedly, the percentage of electric buses in the City will go up to 60% in 2025, which is in line with Executive Yuan’s policy goal of full implementation of electric buses by 2030.
