        TSA arrival FAQs

        What is the safest way to leave Taipei Songshan?
        Take Taipei Metro Brown Line at terminal. Use metered taxi rank if going with heavy bags.
        Are taxis at TSA safe?
        Use the official taxi rank outside arrivals, confirm the meter is on before pulling away, and never accept a fare from someone approaching you inside the terminal. Risk profile for this airport: low.
        Is ride-hailing (Uber, Bolt, Grab or similar) available at TSA?
        Yes — Uber works at TSA. Typical cost TWD 180–TWD 320, journey ~15–25 min. Use the in-app pickup point rather than the arrivals curb.
        How much should a taxi from TSA to the city centre cost?
        Expected fare on the TSA → Taipei 101 route is roughly TWD 25 MRT / TWD 200 taxi. Anything around TWD 400+ is high — TWD 600+ off-meter is a scam. Fares vary with traffic, time of day and taxi type, so confirm before you get in.
        Do I need cash for a taxi at TSA?
        Carry small local notes — MRT Brown Line expects card & cash. A backup card with no FX fees helps if a driver claims the terminal is broken.
        Where is the official taxi pickup at Taipei Songshan?
        Station connected to arrivals. If you can't see a marked rank with a dispatcher or queue, walk back inside and ask at the information desk — never take an offer from someone roaming arrivals.
        Is TSA safe to arrive at late at night?
        TSA is generally manageable at night if you stick to the official taxi rank or pre-book a transfer. Avoid empty bus stops and outdoor pickup zones, and confirm your ride is moving before sharing personal details.
