The Chiayi County Bus Service Administration was established in 1952 (the 41st year of the Republic of China) and operates under the Department of Transportation and Tourism of the Chiayi County Government. It is primarily responsible for the management, scheduling, and operation of public bus services within the county. The Administration plays a crucial role in promoting public transportation policies and improving connectivity between urban and rural areas. Its main duties include planning major bus routes, managing transfer stations, reviewing fare structures, conducting vehicle safety inspections, providing driver training, and overseeing the quality of passenger transport services.
In recent years, in response to the government’s initiative to promote smart transportation and integrated tourism transport, the Chiayi County Bus Service Administration has actively introduced electronic ticketing systems, mobile payments, and transportation information platforms. It has also supported the operation of tourism routes such as the Taiwan Tourist Shuttle – Alishan Route, making it more convenient for travelers to plan their itineraries and take public buses.
Looking ahead, the Administration will continue to uphold the core values of safety, convenience, and friendliness, striving to build a more comprehensive public transportation environment and enhance the overall quality of transportation services in Chiayi County.
