How can I commute within Taipei?

Local transport in Taipei is very well connected, much thanks to the MRT. This metro system covers the city efficiently and is signed and announced in English. The bus system is good too, though at first it might seem a bit complicated: fares are charged by section, so a long ride across the city may cost two fares. The best way to make your commute simple in Taipei is buying an EasyCard, which can be topped up and used on the MRT, the buses, the airport line and even gives you discounts at a few stores. Taxis run throughout the city, can be hailed from the pavement and are not very expensive.
