 |

“The Diing Dong bus is very convenient,” said Lin, a student at Junyi High School in Taitung who takes the bus home to Duli every week. “The drivers’ attitudes are friendly and enthusiastic.”
The Diing Dong bus company is the largest in Taitung City. It has two lines, the Mountain Line and the Sea Line. The Sea Line runs every hour from Taitung bus station to Junpu in the north, which is in Hualien Fengbin Township. There is only one bus that runs all the way to Hualien train station every day.
The bus takes the number 11 highway up the east coast which offers amazing views of the ocean and coastal mountains. It stops in Cheng Gong, but passengers can request stops at other locations, including tourist hotspots like the Sugar Factory in Dulan, and the Water Running Up attraction in Donghe.
Passengers are cautioned to select their travel time carefully.“During busy times, you might not get a seat,” said Feng Ting, a regular Diing Dong bus passenger.
