TPASS Season Pass Now Available! Enjoy 90 Days of Unlimited Rides with a Single Purchase
[Kaohsiung News] Since its launch in April 2023 on the MeNGo platform, the Tainan-Kaohsiung-Pingtung TPASS monthly commuter pass has sold over 80,000 passes per month. In response to frequent public requests for more extended options, the TPASS Season Pass has now being launched! Starting today, commuters can purchase a pass valid for 90 consecutive days with just one transaction, eliminating the need for monthly renewals.
The Kaohsiung Transportation Bureau stated that TPASS monthly sales in Kaohsiung have increased more than eightfold since its introduction, consistently surpassing 80,000 passes sold each month. Considering the vast geography of the Tainan-Kaohsiung-Pingtung region, the TPASS 399 and 999 season pass options cater to regular public transit users, offering a more convenient and cost-effective solution by reducing the frequency of purchases.
According to the Transportation Bureau, with the growing popularity of TPASS, many users have expressed the inconvenience of purchasing monthly passes repeatedly and requested a longer-duration option. In response, the city government collaborated with the MeNGo team to develop the season pass, aiming to promote consistent use of public transportation while enhancing convenience for commuters. The MeNGo platform, known as Taiwan’s only fully membership-based monthly pass service, continues to enhance its features to provide streamlined services. Kaohsiung’s monthly TPASS has also achieved the highest satisfaction rate nationwide in a survey conducted by the Ministry of Transportation and Communications, a testament to the strong support from residents.
The Transportation Bureau has also collaborated with iPASS Corporation to develop online ticket purchase features through the iPASS MONEY app. With just a smartphone, users can easily renew (existing plans), purchase new monthly passes, or process refunds, all from the convenience of their home. This service eliminates the need for physical visits, providing a seamless experience for commuters. To show appreciation for public support, the Transportation Bureau will soon launch a special prize draw. Season pass holders will have the chance to win TPASS monthly passes, shopping vouchers from major retailers, and other exciting prizes.
