The experience was fine but 12Go Asia brought absolutely zero convenience. We still had to make another reservation and go to the office for our tickets. I'll just book directly with the operator next time.

We booked our roundtrip HSR tickets from Taipei to Taichung through 12go and it was super easy and convenient. Everything went smoothly with no pain points and Taiwan’s HSR system is fast, efficient, and a joy to ride.

Great way to travel, remember you have to convert your ticket first, the QR code won’t get you in. Staff were helpful at the train station
