Wen Tai-hsin, director of the Department of Transportation of Taichung City government, said that if everything goes smoothly, all prepaid transportation cards operated in other cities -- including Taipei's EasyCard -- will be able to be used in the central Taiwan region... The total cost for launching the integrated system is estimated at NT$100 million, he added... More than 1,500 card reader systems on buses in Taichung, Changhua and Nantou will need to be reconfigured, and the city has applied for a subsidy of NT$45 million from the Ministry of Transportation and Communications to integrate the system, Wen said...
