Bus 184

NT$15 gets you from TSA into the city on Bus 184

For TSA passengers staying along a bus corridor instead of near an MRT station, Bus 184 is the cheap, simple option at NT$15 per ride. The ride runs about 40 minutes, so it suits people who are not in a rush and prefer surface streets over transfers on the Wenhu Line or other MRT routes.

From Terminal 1 and Terminal 2, follow airport signs to the city bus stops outside the arrivals level; look for route number 184 on the pole and front display. Buses on this line come roughly every 20 minutes, which is good enough that you rarely wait long unless you just watched one pull away.

The fare is a flat NT$15, payable by EasyCard, iPASS, or cash in coins; tap in at the front reader when you board. If you pay cash, drivers in Taipei generally do not change large bills, so have small notes or coins ready before leaving the terminal ATM or currency counter in T1 or T2.

Current public sources list Bus 184 as one of several city buses at Taipei Songshan Airport but skip the fine print on exact stops and service patterns, so treat it as a basic city bus, not an airport-labeled limousine coach. Build in the full 40-minute estimate and check the onboard stop display carefully as you approach your stop along the corridor.

There are no consistent reports of major issues with Bus 184 at TSA, and no recurring complaints about crowding or reliability in the available reviews. Still, surface traffic in Taipei can slow anything on wheels, so a scheduled 40-minute run can easily stretch longer during evening rush around 17:00–19:00.

One practical tip: if your hotel or apartment sits closer to a bus stop than an MRT entrance, pin that stop in Google Maps and screenshot the Chinese stop name before you leave Terminal 1 or 2; it makes it much easier to match the scrolling display on Bus 184 while your roaming or eSIM sorts itself out.
