EasyCard can be used on all MRT lines in Taiwan.
How to Use EasyCard?
To use EasyCard, you just need to touch the card reader when entering or exiting a bus, MRT or train gate. It will also show you the remaining balance on your card.
Where can I use EasyCard?

How to Top Up EasyCard
You can top up at MRT stations, convenience stores (7-Eleven, FamilyMart, Hi-Life and OK Mart). The minimum stored value for EasyCard is NT$100 or its multiples. The most convenient way is to top up your EasyCard at a convenience store. Some convenience store clerks do not speak English. You just give them your EasyCard and cash. Tell them how much you would like to add. They most likely know you want to add that amount.
On the last day of your stay
If you only have a little remaining stored value, I would recommend you to go to a convenience store to buy something. You can use your EasyCard to make purchases at convenience stores on the last day of your stay, with a balance close to zero. If you want to refund the remaining stored value, you can only do so at the Taipei MRT stations. After you return the stored value, the card will be returned to you and cannot be used again after it is locked.
