With this technique, you purchase the whole trip in advance but in two sections, taking the same train the whole route but changing seats in Yilan. As many people get off the train in Yilan, this can be a way to beat the computers automated seat selection system. This technique doesn’t work unless you can purchase BOTH legs of the trip in advance, but it does work surprisingly well.
Example:
First Leg: Express Train No. 202: Departs Taipei at 6:05 am, arrives in Yilan at 7:12 am
Switch seats: Walk through the train so you don’t get left behind!
Second Leg: Express Train No. 202: Departs Yilan at 7:15 am, arrives in Hualien at 8:14 am
