The Taichung Transit Center was scheduled to begin operations on November 5, 2026, to serve as a centralized transportation hub for central Taiwan. The facility aimed to resolve issues with scattered boarding locations by integrating 27 bus routes, including national highway, highway, and Taiwan Tourist Shuttle lines, connecting Taichung to various regions such as Keelung, New Taipei, Taoyuan, and Kaohsiung.

Following its official commencement on November 4, the center, which cost 2.1 billion TWD, functions as a large-scale network integrating Taiwan Railways, city buses, taxis, and YouBike services. The facility features two floors above ground and three floors below ground, utilizing smart technology like license plate recognition and real-time parking detection. To encourage public use, the city offered discounted parking rates during the first month of operation.
