There are car and scooter rentals near the train station if one has an international drivers license. If that is not applicable one can take a bus or taxi to the city which is some distance from either the train station or the airport. Taitung's public transportation is somewhat limited compared with other Taiwanese cities. There are bus routes, while these are inexpensive, the timetables are in Chinese. However, the main part of Taitung is small and compact enough to make walking a pleasant way to explore the city. Bicycles are a good alternative form of transportation and can be rented at several location beach side as well as near the entrance to the Forest Park at the North end of Jhongshan Rd. For excursions to the attractions on the outskirts of town a taxi may be your best option. Taxis are quite plentiful around the Old Railway Station downtown near the intersection of Guanming Rd. and Sinsheng Rd.
