The East Coast National Scenic Area Administration, which is responsible for planning the east coast's tourism resources, did not include the development of the railroads along the east coast in their agenda. At present, there is a shortage of connecting traffic facilities between the rail line and many scenic spots, which results in some inconvenience for those visitors who are not driving their own car.
負責規劃東海岸旅游資源的東海岸風景特定區管理處，並未將東海岸鐵路納入規劃中，而從鐵路沿線到風景點，也缺少連結的交通工具，多少造成沒有開車遊客的不便。
