Taichung self-driving bus makes its maiden voyage. Lu Xiuyan "plays ball" and delivers a speech to Jiang Qichen?

Taichung City's Shui-Nan self-driving bus officially made its maiden voyage today (11th). Mayor Lu Xiuyan personally experienced the ride. Vice President of the Legislative Yuan Jiang Qichen and other members of the audience attended to witness, demonstrating the results of the city government's promotion of smart transportation. However, the arrangement of speeches by political figures during the ceremony also triggered discussions on administrative neutrality and the fairness of public events.

Lu Xiuyan said on the stage that during the election, all parties want to give speeches, so it is better to nominate a representative and let the candidates who need exposure "line up" on the stage, so that everyone has the opportunity and does not need to worry too much. The original intention of this explanation seemed to be to resolve the sensitivity of the speech arrangement, but in the end, the mayoral candidate Jiang Qichen, who is a member of the same party and is also the vice president of the Legislative Yuan, took the stage, which still aroused political associations in the outside world.

Some people present described their impression as "There is no silver here", reflecting the political sensitivity of public events during the election. The construction of smart transportation deserves recognition, but political divisions and public trust are also issues that cannot be ignored in municipal governance.
