Taipei’s public transport system is a breeze for non-Mandarin speakers. The Taipei MRT (subway) uses both Chinese and English signs, announcements, and station maps. Buses also display routes and stops in dual language. For late-night rides, taxis are affordable (around NT$100-200 for most trips) and drivers often use basic English or translation apps to communicate. Tip: Download the “Taipei Metro” app for real-time English updates on train arrivals.
