Kamalan Bus

Kamalan Bus (Chinese: 葛瑪蘭汽車客運, commonly 葛瑪蘭客運) is a public transport company in Taiwan. It is the only intercity (national freeway) bus operator based in Yilan County, and it began scheduled freeway service through the Hsuehshan Tunnel on 15 November 2007, when the tunnel's intercity bus operations were officially launched. The company's core business is national freeway route operation, notably National Freeway No. 5 and the Taoyuan Nankan line, connecting Yilan County towns such as Su'ao, Luodong, Yilan City and Jiaoxi with New Taipei City and Taipei City. Beyond intercity coaches, Kamalan Bus operates the Yilan Jin Hao Xing (宜蘭勁好行) local city bus network, covering Toucheng, Jiaoxi, Yilan City, Luodong, Wujie, Datong, Yuanshan, Dongshan and Su'ao, as well as the Taiwan Tourist Shuttle Jiaoxi line (台灣好行礁溪線) sightseeing bus. The group also includes Kamalan Transport Co., Ltd. (葛瑪蘭通運股份有限公司) and Kamalan Travel Service Co., Ltd. (葛瑪蘭旅行社股份有限公司), extending its activities into coach charter and travel agency services. The company pursues strategic alliances with tourist factories, hotels and leisure farms, offering transfer shuttle connections and bundled accommodation packages. It has also donated to establish the Kamalan Culture Foundation (葛瑪蘭文化基金會), through which it engages in social welfare work, including annual support for outstanding students and nutrition-lunch assistance for disadvantaged families in Yilan-area senior high and vocational schools, and promotion of Kavalan culture. Kamalan Bus is therefore both a regional transport provider and a tourism-linked service brand for Yilan County, integrating freeway coaches, local buses, sightseeing shuttles, travel services and community sponsorship under the Kamalan name.

Kamalan Bus (葛瑪蘭汽車客運) is a Taiwanese public transport company whose identity is closely tied to the opening of intercity bus operations through the Hsuehshan Tunnel. According to its Chinese Wikipedia entry, the company is the only national freeway bus operator in Yilan County, and on 15 November 2007 the first official freeway bus service through the Hsuehshan Tunnel began operations. This event marked the start of Kamalan Bus's scheduled intercity services and established the company as a key link between Yilan and the Taipei metropolitan area. After that launch, the company expanded its route network to cover National Freeway No. 5 and the Taoyuan Nankan line, providing national freeway routes that connect Yilan County communities — including Su'ao, Luodong, Yilan City and Jiaoxi — with New Taipei City and Taipei City. These intercity routes form the backbone of its business and serve both commuters and tourists travelling between the Taipei region and Yilan. In addition to freeway coaches, Kamalan Bus developed local public bus operations under the Yilan Jin Hao Xing (宜蘭勁好行) city bus brand, serving Toucheng, Jiaoxi, Yilan City, Luodong, Wujie, Datong, Yuanshan, Dongshan and Su'ao. It also operates the Taiwan Tourist Shuttle Jiaoxi line (台灣好行礁溪線), a sightseeing bus service aimed at visitors to the Jiaoxi area. The company's scope extends beyond bus operation. Its related businesses include Kamalan Transport Co., Ltd. (葛瑪蘭通運股份有限公司) and Kamalan Travel Service Co., Ltd. (葛瑪蘭旅行社股份有限公司), which cover coach transport and travel agency functions. Kamalan Bus also forms strategic alliances with tourist factories, hotels and leisure farms, offering transfer shuttle services and bundled accommodation packages to integrate transport with tourism. Alongside its commercial activities, the company has engaged in social welfare. It donated to establish the Kamalan Culture Foundation (葛瑪蘭文化基金會), and it annually supports outstanding students and nutrition-lunch programmes for disadvantaged families at senior high and vocational schools in the Yilan area, while promoting Kavalan culture. The available evidence does not specify the company's exact founding date, ownership structure or executive leadership, so those details remain unconfirmed in this dossier.
