You can either walk to Taipei Main Station (15min according to a Taiwanese girl), take the MRT (one station away) or a bus to Taipei Main Station. Less than 5 stops away. We decided to take a bus cuz 1) it's quite tiring to walk the long underpass, 2) we would like to try taking the bus!
You only need to tap once, either when you board or alight the bus. The bus seems small, not a lot of seats.
