捷運建設應適時踩煞車?張景森籲建立「二次體檢」機制防財政無底洞

前政務委員張景森指出,當前捷運每公里造價飆破數十億甚至百億,新規劃路線資本效率差了數十倍,若因政治承諾硬蓋恐成財政無底洞,主張建立二次體檢機制嚴格把關。

前政務委員張景森呼籲全台捷運建設應適時踩煞車。他指出部分新規劃路線造價飆漲、運量低落,恐成財政無底洞,主張在主體工程決標前建立「二次體檢」機制,設定五項警戒指標重新評估成本效益。

Why It Matters

全台各縣市積極推動捷運建設,但面臨缺工、物價上漲及工程成本飆升等挑戰。

針對全台各縣市爭相興建捷運,前行政院政務委員張景森今(7)日呼籲捷運建設應適時「踩煞車」。他指出,當前捷運造價每公里動輒飆破五、六十億甚至百億元,但部分新規劃路線的資本效率卻差了20倍,若因政治承諾硬蓋,恐將成為未來數十年的財政無底洞,因此主張建立「二次體檢」機制,在主體工程決標前嚴格把關。

張景森今天在臉書發文表示,自己並非反對蓋捷運,而是主張「踩煞車而非停車」,放慢速度檢視車況。該蓋的捷運當然要蓋,甚至應該加快推進。例如台北萬大線、環狀線,或台中藍線這類人口稠密、運輸需求強勁、路網整體效益明確的走廊,沒有理由只為了「節省預算」而中途喊卡。真正需要踩煞車的,是那些高成本、低運量的捷運計畫。

張景森續指,台灣早期推動捷運基本上都是從最優質的交通走廊開始,人口密集、產業集聚、道路壅塞,大眾運輸需求強烈,每公里捷運每天可以服務非常龐大的旅客量。在這種條件下,即使地下化工程造價昂貴,分攤到每一個旅次,仍然可能是一筆合理而有效率的公共投資。

然而,隨著路網延伸至邊緣市場,卻出現「造價飆漲、服務旅次驟減」的危險交叉曲線。張景森強調,近年受到缺工、物價上漲、土地取得及工程成本飆升影響,許多新建捷運每公里造價已經高達五、六十億元,地下化路段甚至突破百億元。於是出現一條非常危險的交叉曲線:每公里造價愈來愈高,每公里能服務的旅客卻愈來愈少,這正是現在必須踩煞車的核心理由。

張景森以量化指標檢視各地新興捷運計畫後指出,萬大線一期大約「30萬元/日旅次」、「台中藍線約66萬元/日旅次」,但部分新規劃路線已經超過100萬元甚至600萬元,兩者資源配置效益差距高達數十倍。

張景森補充,蓋好只是第一關,捷運不是剪綵以後就不用花錢。真正漫長的財政負擔,從通車那一天才開始。列車營運、車站人員、電費、軌道、號誌、機電維修都要錢;二、三十年後,還有車廂及核心設備的大規模更新。一天20萬人次搭乘的捷運需要這些支出,一天只有一、兩萬人搭乘的捷運,同樣少不了這些基本成本。

張景森主張,政府應該建立捷運計畫的「二次體檢」制度,從規劃、核定到真正施工往往經過很多年,人口、產業、工程價格、地方財政及運輸需求都可能已經改變,不能拿著五年、十年前的數字一路蓋到底。尤其在主體工程決標發包以前,應該強制使用最新資料重新計算成本與效益。

因此他建議至少設定五項警戒指標:第一,總工程費較原核定增加20%以上。一個原本1000億元的計畫,如果後來變成1300億元,原來的成本效益評估顯然已經失真,就應重新計算。第二,每公里預估日運量低於5000旅次。捷運是高固定成本的運輸工具。如果需求太稀薄,就應認真比較其他成本更低的運輸方式。

第三,每預估日旅次對應的建設資本超過100萬元。突破這個門檻就應亮黃燈,重新檢查投入這麼龐大的資本是否合理。第四,運量過度建立在「還沒有發生的未來」。例如假設未來人口暴增、產業園區全部進駐、土地開發完成、觀光客大量增加。這些可以列入情境分析,但不能把「願望」直接登記成「旅客」。

第五,票箱與合理業外收入長期無法支應基本營運成本。如果通車以後,每年仍必須依靠龐大的公共預算補貼才能維持,就應該在動工以前,把未來幾十年的財務責任算清楚。他建議,只要觸及2項應亮黃燈重新評估,達3項以上則亮紅燈暫緩推動。

張景森強調,捷運是運輸工具,不是城市現代化的獎牌,面對未來無人駕駛與AI共享運具競爭,不應盲目砸千億投資低效益路線。他呼籲政府全面盤點尚未開挖、未決標的計畫,用輕軌、BRT或優化公車路網替代,該衝的衝、該煞的煞,「真正負責任的公共建設政策,本來就應該知道什麼時候踩油門,也知道什麼時候踩煞車。煞車不是為了停車,而是為了不要把車開進懸崖。」

Open Questions

  • 政府是否會採納張景森的二次體檢建議?
  • 哪些具體捷運路線將面臨暫緩或重新評估?
