Eva Air has a bus division (長榮客運) that offers transportation to downtown Taipei (really close to Songshan) for about NT $150. It runs until 1am.

Here is their list of stops if you can read Chinese.

Bus tickets can be purchased at the main bus counter (many options to choose from). When you exit out of security, go toward the right. You will see a right hall way that leads to the exit. Bus counter is right before the exit.

Or just follow the sign at the airport for ground transportation.
Indeed the Evergreen bus is my preferred way when heading for Taipei. Not many foreigners use it, but the counter staff speak "nervous" English and take care you know where to get off. I usually connect at Shuanglian for the Chungho MRT line (hadn't noticed it ran particularly close to the domestic airport).

However, it can add up to 15mins to your journey just because of the frequency, plus probably another 10mins if you are going from T2 because it calls at T1 afterwards.
