Well...I think the High-Speed Rail + the shuttle bus might take about the same time (possibly even less) but significantly cheaper.
Actually I never tried that route. I got scared by the bus saying they need 45 min to taoyuan highspeed station (which I LOL-ed and doubt it), I should try that sometime when I am not in a rush.

But speaking of TPE access I normally end up rica tw car or taxi. 1000-1500 TWD is a non-brainer (I know bus is cheap but the time saved is much more important)
