The founder of the company, Shi Shuibo, established “Anrong Passenger Transport” in 1969, and initially mainly served Yuli and Chenggong areas. After Shi Menghong, the second-generation person in charge, officially took over in 1974, he was at a standoff with the then “Xingdong Passenger Transport” because of the operation route.

However, in the early stage of the merger, due to the different business philosophy of the two parties, the company could not operate normally.

However, the two camps, which hold 50/50 shares of the company respectively, have no right to supervise each other, but they must take responsibility for each other.

Feeling this, under the leadership of Shi Menghong, the company finally formally submitted a divisional application for the first time in 2014. In the same year, Shi Menghong, the second-generation person in charge, passed away, and his wife Wang Qinling, the eldest son Shi Kaiyan and his son Shi Jianzhou continued to work hard on the division.

On February 09, 2021, after the revision of Articles 4-3 of the detailed review rules for the automobile transportation industry, the company filed an application for division again. On February 7 of the following year, the General Administration of Highways of the Ministry of Communications finally sent a letter for approval. After 8 years and 3 applications, on August 1, 2022, the operation area of ​​Dingdong Passenger Transport Mountain Line was officially renamed as “East Taiwan Passenger Transport”. The role of the transport mission in the eastern remote areas will also be inherited by the “East Taiwan Passenger Transport”.
