台中捷運藍線預算中央核定1615億,盧秀燕兩任8年任期,主線工程宕到今年8月終於動工施作高架段主線工程,卻在藍線連1公分都還未蓋出來之際,傳出藍線預算已不夠用,甚至出現多達千億缺口,迄今尚未向中央提出修正計畫申請相關預算調整,千億預算缺口還不知如何補之際,今市府主動拋有日商有意跟台中爭取促參或是BOT。
盧秀燕今早「證實」,「日本有很大很大的公司」對台中的捷運有興趣,希望能促參或是BOT。
她說,日本這些公司都有做軌道建設的經驗跟財力,如果由他們做政府就不用籌資,採BOT或促參,政府可以節省經費,「的確我們就不用這麼辛苦了」、「就不需要為掌握經費,跟中央這樣子,在中央這樣子來來往往,可能一條捷運就審個五年」,這樣的確會比較快、效率比較好,政府也不用出資。
盧秀燕自己也說,事情非常重大,因為台灣還沒有讓外國參與軌道建設,台中適不適合,會做研究;另他的任期只剩下3個多月,「會不會做決策還在思考當中」、「會不會在我任內做決策,也要好好思考」。
盧秀燕又說,至少要先解決捷運藍線要再增加經費,高雄黃線增預算已經獲得通過獲得中央再補助1千億,台中也希望比照,那希望這個事情趕快推進。
