The bus platform elevator at Taichung Station was suspected of malfunctioning. A citizen posted on the social network that he was trapped in the elevator of bus platform A at Taichung Station on the 12th. The emergency call took 4 times to get through. The manufacturer still couldn't figure out which elevator they were trapped in. Are the city government units shouldering the responsibility? Some netizens left a message below. They saw that the door could not be moved after opening it. It seems that it has not been repaired.

The Transportation Bureau of the Taichung City Government stated that after receiving a report that people were trapped in the elevator at 9:34 a.m. on September 12, it immediately notified the manufacturer and firefighting unit to deal with it. The personnel successfully escaped at 9:45.

A citizen posted on threads that he was trapped in the elevator of bus platform A at Taichung Station. He called the emergency phone 4 times before he could get through. They all responded according to the signs above. The manufacturer still couldn't figure out which elevator they were trapped in, and then couldn't determine how long it would take to get out.

The citizen said that the fire brigade arrived earlier than the manufacturer. When the fire brigade opened the door, it said that it had happened two or three times. "May I ask what the responsible manufacturer is doing?" Is the city government unit in charge of station elevators shouldering the responsibility? Some netizens left a message below. They saw that the door could not be moved after opening it. It seems that it has not been repaired. Some netizens said that the elevator on platform C was also stuck.

The Transportation Bureau stated that it will strengthen facility maintenance and patrols in the future to ensure the safety of people using it.
