Anyone taken those Tourist Shuttle Buses before? How's the crowding like, are they usually packed?
In Red.Going TW with family of 4 adults altogether in late Dec.
D-day arrive TPE, HSR to TaiChung (Feng Chia) for 2 nights
D+3 Sun Moon lake, stay at Hu Yue hotel
D+4 Alishan, stay at Alishan Hotel (House)
D+5/6, Tainan, day trip to KH
D+7/8, TP
D+9 TPE
Questions:
1. Does it make economical sense to buy HSR pass or just pay per trip ?
Depends if you are on flexible time or fixed time.
Fixed time has higher discounts.
2. What's the ideal mode of transportation from TC to SML ? Where to make reservation ?
Search for driver?
3. What's the ideal mode of transportation from SML to Alishan ? Where to make reservation ?
Bus? But damn long sia.
I've googled, but tips from you guys will be better.
Thanks.
Cing Jing can do in 1/2 day?
SML can do in 1/2 day?
Was thinking of whether to stay in tai Chung, then do a day tour to Cing Jing n SML.
Or stay in CJ instead. Dilemma. I have 3 kids n an elderly. So a bit troublesome.
Usually go where look for driver ?

I need to fill in this and the arrival card?
You have 5 pax, not easy to move around. I suggest that you skip SML, stay whole day in CJ will be better.
SML and CJ, both best to visit in the day time. If too rush, you going to miss lot of thing/attractions, so may as well concentrate on 1 location.
From Taichung to CJ, you can book driver or book a taxi.

For 4 pax, private car booking may make sense. Do you know of reliable vendor to book from and what's the typical price for the 2 routes (TC->SML and SML->Alishan) ?
As for HSR, I reckoned pass does not make sense for my itin but good that @Calkel confirmed.
Thanks, Andrew and Calkel.
4 pax booking a car/taxi is cheaper but if convenient, why not try their bus as a experience. Bus is still the cheapest transportation.
If you are looking a transport to a destination without a tour, can ask your hotel/minsu to arrange for you with 1 day advance. Save the trouble of looking for a reliable one.
