🇹🇼 Hey! Our Taipei guidebook just dropped on Amazon - every spot we hit, what we spent, and how we did it with 3 kids. Grab it here: mybook.to/adamandlinds-Taipei
In Taipei, if you don't wave when the bus comes, the bus won't stop. You also need to press a button near you or the bus won't stop to let you down either.
To catch the bus, you need to raise your hand when it came, or else the driver will assume you are waiting for a different bus because there are always multiple routes at the bus station. Many tourists did not know it.
So happy your children experience all this. I was in Taiwan studying Mandarin for 9 months. Sadly, I regret not trying a cooking class there. I have been to Din Tin Fung. So happy you came to Taiwan. Able to travel the world with your family.
In both Singapore and Taiwan, we wave the bus. Singapore, if you don’t wave, the bus driver will drive past too, because the assumption would be that you want to take another bus service. I would say in SEA, generally, we wave the bus.
Quick question: In your hometown, do you have to wave down buses, or do they always stop if you're waiting at the bus stop? 🚌🤔 (Asking for a friend... okay, asking for us! 😅) Share your local bus etiquette below!
Ans: buses have to stop at every stop, or drivers will be fined if passengers make complaint calls to the companies, sometimes people wave hands just to remind the drivers in case of busy traffic or out of politeness, and you'll notice some people saying thanks to drivers when they get off the bus; you can use EasyCard to take buses in Taipei and many other cities, and there are English apps which you can check the nearest bus stop and how many minutes to wait till the next bus, please share with us your experiences taking buses in Taiwan if possible, thanks 😁
Because many buses share a dedicated road, the driver cannot confirm whether you want to take his bus if you don't wave. In addition, what Linds said about the driver honking the horn is to remind you to confirm whether you want a ride, but not every driver will do this.
I learned it from YT videos that was the buses in Japan, they will stop every stop. But in Taiwan, they don’t stop every stop! You need to wave to the bus you wanna take! However, it will be a little hard to the foreigners when there comes to two buses or even more at the same time. You need to make sure the moment you wave is to the bus you wanna take. 😂😂😂
Hey, thanks for the tip! It was weird - there was a local lady with a walker waiting too, so we figured the bus would stop. We rode other buses fine without waving, and no locals mentioned it when we asked. But you're right, waving probably doesn't hurt! Taipei's buses are mostly great, just had bad luck that time I guess.
Just raise your hand and look at the bus you want to take. Bus drivers will pay attention to whether all passengers at the station have the intention to take the bus. They are all experienced. Taiwan is a small country and the roads are usually narrow. So if the bus stops at every stop, it will easily cause traffic jams. So drivers will make sure every stop is necessary. If no one is getting on or off, there is no need to stop to keep traffic flowing.
Haha, so funny. We rode a LOT of busses in Taipei and never had to wave a single one down. But the comment consensus is that we should have jumped up and down to let the driver know we wanted on. lol
Because each bus stop is usually shared by many lines, people need to wave to the bus driver to signify their need to get on; otherwise, the driver would think they are there for another line and drive on!
8:17 ctually, the name ‘Boba’ also comes from Taiwan! The origin of ‘Boba’ is a bit inappropriate for children. In Taiwan, there are two different sizes of pearls in bubble tea: the smaller ones are called 珍珠(zhēn zhū)‘pearls,’ and the larger ones are called波霸(bō bà) ‘Boba.’ The term ‘Boba’ originally referred to big breasts🫣
Yes, I am so sad we didn't do that hike. We did this trip in July so it was WAY too hot for us to hike then but we will be back and will definitely do that hike!

在台灣搭公車是需要提前向公車揮手，公車司機才會停下來的，如果每站沒有人都停車那是只會浪費時間而已
Not all the buses stop if you don't wave at them irl though. In general, wave when the bus approaches.
@@carolhuang2550 This is an error message if you don’t wave, the bus won’t stop.
Bubble tea is my FAVORITE! Everything looks so tasty.
I also love bubble tea 😍😍
Awesome day tour experience!

Welcome to Taiwan, your family is lovely. Glad that you guy enjoyed the trip!
Beautiful family ❤
Love you guys in Taiwan!
These intros are soooo good!!
Aww! thanks!
Wave to the bus driver!
看到要搭的公車時
你必須要招手，他們才會停下來
Nice family ❤
Thanks so much! 😊
Lovely video of dumpling making!! Great job guys!!
Adam looks like "Po the Panda" when he eats the bao!
Haha! I am also motivated but delicious bao! 🐼🥟

@@adamandlindsmust wave your hand Next time will be better~welcome back again if you have time ~
Follow you to visit Taipei🥰🥰🥰
Great video!
乘客最好向巴士招手，好讓司機知道有人要搭乘。一家人其實坐計程車，跟搭巴士、捷運差不多。尤其是短程，會比較方便！
Wait the bus thing happened to Pete and Hays too! Hays still talks about!!!
You gotta wave it down or else it won’t stop

In Taiwan bus does not stop unless you wave hands. You missed to study it in advance.
Cookinn的價格令人驚訝，自己做竟然比去鼎泰豐吃還貴的多😂

袖珍博物館門票真的太貴了...

why Cora cry, 鼎泰豐 bao so bad?
Haha, no way! Cora loved the bao. She was sad because we ate them all.
You can hike to the top of elephant mountain which is close to taipei 101. There you can have better top view without paying anything.
Yes, I am so sad we didn't do that hike. We did this trip in July so it was WAY too hot for us to hike then but we will be back and will definitely do that hike!
台灣公車需要舉手，按喇叭是提醒你們是否要上車
Harper so quiet
No yours overloaded and oversized
Don't 粥粉麵飯 made it 脂肪肝 fatty liver ! .
Hope you're feeling better in Taiwan.
It's sad to see one girl crying during the "Ding Tai Fong" time.🥲
Hope she could enjoy the delicious cuisine,too.
Love your introduce!
❤👏👏👏👍Welcome to Taiwan!
