Taiwan is preparing for the three-day Dragon Boat Festival holiday starting June 19. To encourage public transit use, highway bus operators are offering significant discounts, with some fares reduced to as low as 42%. Transportation authorities have released traffic projections, highlighting high-occupancy levels on National Highway 5. Specific road segments prone to congestion have been identified to help travelers plan their routes. Commuters are advised to utilize the discounted bus services to alleviate potential traffic jams. The government aims to balance vehicle loads across the national highway network during the peak holiday period. These measures are intended to ensure smoother travel for the public throughout the long weekend.
