Periodic tickets are sold to passengers who often ride a train in one-way within 150 km. At station without the automatic ticket inspecting system, “General Periodic Ticket” in the form of thin paper is sold. At departure stations disposed with automatic ticket inspecting gate (refer to table attached for details), “General Periodic Ticket” in the form of magnetic card is sold. It is not used with name registered. Periodic tickets are not applied to compensation regulation of delay for passengers. (The Council has canceled the ticket type of Periodic ticket in the form of magnetic card which counts the number of travels since 2010 February, 10, and has changed to sell the “General Periodic Ticket in the form of magnetic card”)

The Council has newly added Periodic ticket with valid period of 60 days since 2010 June, 1 (also abbreviated as 60 days general periodic ticket; periodic ticket with valid period of 30 days is also abbreviated as 30 days general periodic ticket).

Valid period：
1. 30 days general periodic ticket: valid for 30 days since the starting day of the ticket.
2. 60 days general periodic ticket: valid for 60 days since the starting day of the ticket.
Note: Periodic ticket can be pre-sold 3 days before the starting day (for example: periodic ticket of starting day on February 23 can be pre-sold on February 20).
Calculation of ticket fare:
1. 30 days general periodic ticket: ticket fare of Fu-Hsing Semi Express x 21 days of fare counted x 2 round trips per day x 85% (15% discounted) and the mantissa is rounded off.
2. 60 days general periodic ticket: ticket fare of Fu-Hsing Semi Express x 42 days of fare counted x 2 round trips per day x 85% (15% discounted) and the mantissa is rounded off.
(※2010 February, 10 – 2010 May, 31, the calculation formula of periodic ticket with valid period of 30 days is: ticket fare of Fu-Hsing Semi Express of 2 round trips per day x 30 days of valid period x 62% (38% discounted) and the mantissa is rounded off)
