How this service works
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.
Output
Returns a JSON object with mode, count, and a results array. For bus mode: each item includes stop_name, route_name, plate_number, estimate_seconds (seconds until arrival; -1 means already passed), already_passed boolean, next_bus_time, stop_sequence, and update_time. For TRA, THSR, and MRT modes: raw TDX fields are passed through covering train IDs, arrival/departure times, platform info, and station names. Also includes data_note, attribution, disclaimer, sources, and verified_on metadata fields.
Example use cases
Check next bus arrival at stop
“I'm at a bus stop in Taichung waiting for route 74. Can you tell me how many seconds until the next bus arrives, and whether any bus already passed?”
Live TRA board at a rail station
“Pull up the live TRA departure board for Hsinchu station right now — I need to see which trains are currently running.”
Taipei MRT arrivals at a specific station
“Show me the current MRT arrival board for Taipei using TRTC, filtered to Taipei City Hall station, so I know when the next train is coming.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://tariffmonkee.com/paid/tw-transit-check?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need real-time Taiwan public transit arrival data — specifically bus predictions, TRA live boards, THSR daily train info, or MRT arrival boards — without needing journey planning or routing. Prefer this over direct TDX API calls when you want a simplified, paid-per-call interface that handles TDX authentication. Not suitable for trip planning, fare calculation, or transit outside Taiwan.
Side effects
- Missing required mode parameter returns an error
- Missing city or route_name for bus mode returns an error
- Missing station_id for TRA or THSR mode returns an error
- Missing rail_system for MRT mode returns an error
- Invalid city code or route name not found in TDX returns empty results or TDX error
- TDX upstream outage causes failure or stale data
- estimate_seconds of -1 indicates bus already passed (not an error)
- Station ID must be looked up separately via TDX's own station endpoints
