The minibus departed from each stop every one hour. Fare was NT$20. The minibus stops could be found near the car park in front of the emergency department of the Taipei Medical University Hospital, and on the left of the slope exit of the Technology Building as well as the right of the slope exit 5 of the Xinyi Anhe Station.
　　The minibus lines bound for the Taipei Veterans General Hospital, the Cheng Hsin Hospital, the Taiwan Adventist Hospital, the Chang Gung Memorial Hospital and the Tri-Service General Hospital were also available. The minibus bound for the first two hospitals stops at the MRT Shipai Station, and that bound for the later two hospitals stops at the MRT Zhongxiao Fuxing Station.
