Taxi Basics

Although Taiwan has plenty of taxis, few cab drivers in the area around NHRI can speak English well. Thus, you may wish to print out this page to help you communicate. You can point to place names and addresses on the printout if necessary.

If you would like additional assistance, please ask the guard in the lobby of the administration building (ext. 39900) or Mr. Hsu, the dormitory keeper (ext. 39910).

Requesting a taxi:

Please help me call a cab from Ritong Cab Co. -- (037) 467-325.
