After the elevation of the railway of Taichung, the reconstruction of the square in front of the train station (Kuang Six) took place at the same time. After Taichung Bus Station of Kuo-kuang Bus ended its services on November 28th, it relocated itself to the new station on Xinmin Street, 300 meters away from the original bus station. Besides providing bus services for the 13 highway buses of Kuo-kuang Bus and 6 highway buses of Taichung Bus, the second floor of the building also provides parking spaces for 140 cars and 236 scooters. The parking lot will be opened recently for transferring passengers to park their vehicles.

The Transportation Bureau pointed out that with the coordination of Vice Mayor Lin Ling-san between TRA and Kuo-kuang Bus, the Kuo-kuang Bus Station Relocation Project that was postponed during the previous administration finally reached an agreement by renting Xinmin Street Parking Lot as the bus station and both Kuo-kuang Bus and TRA signed the contract in May 2016. At the same time, after several negotiations by Taichung City Government with Kuo-kuang Bus regarding land purchasing since April, the negotiation was finally completed on August. The decades-old Kuo-kuang Bus Taichung Station terminated its service at 23:40 on November 28th and it was relocated to No. 168, Xinmin Street, 300 meters away from the original bus station, to continue its services.

The following bus routes have been relocated to the new station at Xinmin Street: 13 Kuo-kuang Bus highway buses including “1805 Keelung”, “1826 Shuinan-Taipei”, “1827 Chaoma-Taipei”, “1851 Shuinan-Banqiao”, “1852 Chaoma-Banqiao”, “1860 Taoyuan International Airport”, “1861 Taoyuan”, “1863 Chungli”, “1866 Hsinchu”, “1870 Chiayi”, “1871 Tainan”, “1872 Kaohsiung” and “1873 Pingtung”; 6 Taichung Bus highway buses including “6187 Chiayi”, “6188 Jhushan”, “9010 Hsinchu”, “9012Taipei”, “9015 Beigang” and “9016 Sihu”. The aforementioned buses will be providing services at the new station starting from 00:00 of November 29th. Passengers who need to take these buses can walk along Jianguo Road from the old station and turn right into Chenggong Road to find the new bus station of Kuo-kuang Bus on Xinmin Street.

In addition, in coordination with the launch of the new bus station, Kuo-kuang Bus has released transportation discounts.
