What is the longest Trains route in Taiwan?

The longest Trains route we sell touching Taiwan runs from Kaohsiung to Keelung, 315 km in a straight line. The median route in the country is 116 km, so this one is a considerable outlier and the fares on it behave differently from the rest.

Where these numbers come from

Schedules, seat counts and fares are generated by our own model until the supplier contracts are signed. Places, coordinates, operators, which operator serves which pair, and every distance are real. We would rather say that on every page than let a modelled number pass for a filed one.
