I can confirm the positive experience with cabs in Taipei. Taxi there is cheap anyway, and the taxi drivers I've experienced have been very friendly and professional. A lot of them don't speak english though. I don't know if there are special english-speaking taxis you can call up like I've seen in other countries. Personally I've never needed it.
