台北捷運乘客脆上發文指出,昨天淡水信義線有名高齡長者於車門關閉前拄拐杖上捷運,列車啟動時,人在車廂正中央的長者,直接一個加速度站不穩,也沒有欄杆可以抓握,隨即面朝上倒地。北捷今天回應,「針對9月14日上午一名旅客於捷運列車內跌倒一事,車站人員獲報後立即前往協助並協助送醫,後續持續關懷旅客身體狀況」,強調「北捷高度重視旅客安全」,可是內容輕描淡寫、避重就輕。
北捷下午補充,當日有電話慰問,後續也派專人前往慰問傷者,經醫院檢查,有手背挫傷,其他尚無大礙,昨天中午已出院,目前在家休養,已安排專人持續關懷。
發文者提到,長者頭部因撞擊地面發出巨大聲響,後躺在地睜眼沒反應,周邊乘客即便嚇到,依然盡量保持冷靜,機警按下緊急按鈕求援,當時大家想靠近,但因長者狀況不明,故而不敢擅自移人,只能問他會不會頭暈、感覺還好嗎、能起來嗎?然長者已無法動彈,並控工作人員到場未先評估傷勢便將人拉起、扛起帶下車,令人憂心,質疑拆掉扶手對於來不及走到靠邊者,或是沒地方抓握、抓不到拉環的乘客該怎麼辦?更何況長者相對行動不便,安全不需要被考量嗎?
台北捷運公司發布302字新聞稿回應,但是針對事件本身的說法僅有65字,「針對9月14日上午一名旅客於捷運列車內跌倒一事,車站人員獲報後立即前往協助並協助送醫,後續持續關懷旅客身體狀況。」其他多半是在描述參考國外做法等。
北捷表示,車廂內依不同車型設置多元扶握設施,包括手拉環、屏風扶手、車側扶手、座椅扶手及環型扶手等,提供旅客乘車時使用。車廂空間優化參考東京、首爾、新加坡、紐約等國際大都會軌道系統經驗,因應尖峰大量運輸及輪椅、嬰兒車、大型行李等多元乘車需求,調整車廂通行動線;同時持續增設扶手及拉環、調整拉環高度,兼顧旅客通行效率及乘車安全。
北捷強調,「旅客乘車安全始終是最優先考量」,未來也將持續蒐集旅客意見,依實際使用情形滾動式檢討,持續優化車廂相關設施,提供安全、友善的乘車環境;惟內容輕描淡寫、避重就輕。

According to statistics from the New Taipei City Animal Protection and Epidemic Prevention Office, as of the end of August this year, 66 reports of missing parrots had been received, an increase of approximately 2 times compared with the same period last year. In order to enhance owners' responsibilities and implement identity management, the Animal Welfare Office has launched a registration incentive program. The first 500 people who complete the registration of non-dog and cat pets and download the "My New Taipei City" APP will receive NT$300, which can be used at the four major supermarkets and some cooperative stores. The event runs until December 31. The Animal Welfare Department stated that after accepting a report of a lost pet bird, it will make an announcement on the official website for 14 days to help find the original owner. Parrots that have not been claimed after the expiration date will be assisted by the Taiwan Bird Guardian Alliance Rescue Association. They will be open to the public for adoption after being assessed as suitable. The adoption status will be tracked regularly to ensure that the rescued birds are properly cared for. Veterinarians from the Animal Welfare Department remind that before raising a parrot, you should understand its lifespan and care needs. The common life span of small parrots is about 6 to 25 years, and large parrots can even live for more than 70 years. It is necessary to purchase a metal cage that is suitable for stretching and not easy to rust, and to feed special feed and fresh vegetables and melons. Change water regularly, clean feces and food residues, and provide appropriate companionship and safe time out of the cage. The most important thing to note is that the parrot's emotional changes include screaming, feather pecking and other abnormalities. The Animal Welfare Department pointed out that parrots have high IQs and strong learning abilities. They will open the cage door and escape by observing and imitating it. People can add buckles on the outside of the cage to provide an extra layer of protection to prevent escape, and put anklets on pet birds to increase the chance of recovery after they escape. Keeping a pet is not a temporary whim, but a lifelong responsibility. We call on the public to implement "nurture for life, never give up". From escape prevention, care to identity registration, taking one more step can increase the chance of your beloved bird returning home safely. If you find an injured pet bird or need rescue, you can call the Animal Welfare Department’s 24-hour hotline 1959 or (02) 2959-6353 to report it.
