I took the bus from one terminal (Taipei City Hall) to the other terminal (Xin Beitou) in Taipei. The journey took 1.5 hours. 30 minutes was used as a feeder service to pick passengers in the area around Taipei 101. The journey time could have been reduced, if there is a separate dedicated feeder service.
Passengers are allowed to pay the fare on entering or leaving the bus. The bus driver has to be vigilent to identify passengers who did not pay the fare. It depends a lot on the honesty of the passengers.
The fare is NT15 (SGD 0.70) for short distance and NT30 (sge 1.40) for longer distance. The passenger can pay by cash or stored value card. For long distance, the passenger has to tap the stored value card twice (as each tap deducts NT15 from the card).
The bus has segments with one seat and other segments with two seats. Those travelling alone can choose to sit in the single seat segment.
My return journey by MRT took about 30 minutes.
