"The express train from Panchiao to Taipei costs NT $ 14 one way, or less than NT $ 10 with a discount, and it takes just 10 minutes. If you ride the bus, it costs at least NT $ 20 and takes 40 or 50 minutes." Chen Feng-nan says that consumers who figure it out will naturally join the ranks of train riders.
「以板橋到台北來說，最快的自強號，單程每張十四元，打七折下來，不到十元，而行車時間只要十分鐘；如果坐公車，起碼要兩段票﹘﹘廿元，還得花個四、五十分鐘，何況最近聯營公車又要漲價」，陳峰男說，消費者算盤子兒撥一撥，自然加入火車族的行列。
