TR Pass
Taiwan Railway Administration rail pass
The TR Pass (Chinese: 台灣鐵路周遊券; pinyin: Táiwān Tiělù Zhōuyóu Quàn) is a rail pass offered by Taiwan Railway Administration (TRA), granting holders of the pass unlimited rides on trains operated by TRA within the day count. The pass can be used by both local and foreign travelers, and different durations of validity are offered as choice. There are two versions of the pass, i.e. the General Pass and the Student Pass. While holders of the former could travel with all types of trains operated by TRA, holders of the latter have more limitations of choice, albeit with a benefit of lowered price. Taiwan High Speed Rail and other privately run rail lines are not covered by the pass, as they are not run by TRA.
Name
The official name of the pass is the TR Pass, a name imitating the JR Pass offered by JR Group. But, while "JR Pass" is a short-hand of its official full name "Japan Rail Pass", "TR Pass" is seldom referred to as "Taiwan Rail Pass"; TRA refers to it as "TR Pass" in all situations.

But some people call it "台灣鐵路周遊券", mimicking the Chinese name of JR Pass ("日本鐵路週遊券"), because the English name of the pass is also an imitation of "JR Pass".
Although currently TRA also refers to the Student Pass as "TR Pass學生版" (lit.

The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
