政治工作者周軒質疑北捷拆除扶手:改動前應思考前因後果

Quick Look

針對北捷乘客跌倒事件,台北市長蔣萬安表示已要求全面檢視車廂扶握設施。政治工作者周軒質疑拆除扶手僅為增加載客量,卻未考慮安全與長遠規劃,並指出應優先提升現有車輛妥善率而非犧牲乘客安全。

AI-generated summary

Why It Matters

北捷營運已逾30年,近年因空間優化需求進行車廂內部設施調整,包括拆除部分立柱與扶手,以增加載客量。此舉引發民眾對安全性的擔憂,尤其在高齡乘客跌倒事件後,議論聲浪升高。

針對北捷乘客跌倒事件,蔣萬安昨表示,已要求北捷全面檢視車廂內的扶握設施。對此,周軒認為:「不是說你不可以去改現行的東西,但是要改動之前都必須要想好前因後果,像這次拆捷運的扶手也是一樣。」(資料照)

有民眾14日搭台北捷運時,目擊一名高齡長者在列車啟動時重心不穩跌倒,頭部撞擊地面發出巨響,質疑長者跌倒與北捷為了最大化空間拆掉立柱有關。台北市長蔣萬安昨(15日)表示,已要求北捷全面檢視車廂內的扶握設施。對此,政治工作者周軒認為:「不是說你不可以去改現行的東西,但是要改動之前都必須要想好前因後果,像這次拆捷運的扶手也是一樣。」

周軒指出,拆掉扶手減少座椅,的確可以讓車廂多塞一點人,但是要增加捷運的運量,不是應該要多買一點新車,要讓現在線上的車輛妥善率更高嗎?周軒提到,這幾年台北捷運的問題,相信每一個在雙北地區利用捷運通勤上下學的市民都非常有感,算一算北捷到現在也30年了,這些年歷任市長,除了把捷運重置基金拿來還債,製造自己任內財政紀律很厲害的假象外,可曾真的好好的坐下來,思考北捷的下一個30年?

請繼續往下閱讀...

周軒質疑:「還是,只要放著,頭痛醫頭腳痛醫腳,然後現在發現,頭痛了醫不了頭,卻連腳也一起痛,才開始想要怎麼辦?」

周軒也向蔣萬安喊話:「把扶手都拆了,椅子也減少了,看起來人裝得比較多,換到的是乘坐的人覺得捷運不安全不可靠。這樣有比較划算嗎,蔣萬安市長?」

Kuomintang League Secretary-General Xu Yuzhen criticized Taiwan's regression of judicial independence, saying the judiciary is harsh on the opposition parties and lenient on the powerful.

The International Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance's 2026 Global Democracy Report shows that Taiwan's judicial independence has dropped from high performance to medium performance, falling out of the top ranks with the United States. Xu Yuzhen, secretary-general of the Kuomintang League, pointed out that the judiciary treats dissidents from the opposition party vigorously and lightly, and treats the powerful lightly. Non-disclosure of investigations is tantamount to selective disclosure, and equality before the law will become empty talk. He questioned the different judicial standards in the case of former Taiwan Sugar Chairman Wu Nai-jen, and asked the Lai Ching-te government to prove that there is an uncrossable red line between judiciary and political power, otherwise it will lose the last trust in democracy and the rule of law.
