I think the Taipei MRT is relatively quiet, and passengers are restrained. It is closer to the European and Japanese subways. It is worth learning from Singapore Metro.
The Singapore Metro Corporation (SMRT) and Taipei MRT announced earlier this month to strengthen cooperation and optimize the subway systems and services of the two cities.The two best subway systems in Asia concluded the relationship between sisters, which is expected to be more optimized, safe and comfortable.
The British Cultural Magazine Time Out released the results of the best public transport system survey in April this year. 19 of the 50 cities around the world performed well.Third, the best in Asia.The sixth to 9th ranking is Singapore, Hong Kong, Taipei and Shanghai.
On the global ranking, Singapore is slightly better than Taipei two rankings; on the ranking of seniority, the Singapore subway that opened to traffic in 1987 is the "sister", and the Taipei MRT is "sister" (the first Muzha line opened in 1996)EssenceNevertheless, Singapore has many places to learn from and learn from the Taipei MRT.
When the New Terrace Metro Cooperation Agreement announced, the author happened to be on a business trip in Taipei. A controversy of "not allowing the seat to the elderly" because of the female writer appealed to the elderly.When the seventy -year -old Taiwanese writer Li Ang took the Taipei MRT last month, he claimed that the three young people were rejected because of physical discomfort.One of them claimed that they were not comfortable, and the other two allegedly "rolled their eyes" to the writer.Therefore, the writer's personal social media in the straight book also put the other photos on the Internet.The incident caused the follow -up report of mainstream media, and once again set off a controversy of abolishing Boai seats (or priority seat).
I mainly take the MRT or public buses in the center of Taipei, pay attention to the functions of Boai seats, and observe life.Perhaps because of the patriarchal thinking of Asian society, respect for the elderly, the elderly, and the younger generations, and the disputes of the throne repeatedly to the news. As a result, there was almost no one who dared to sit.I recently got on the train where Yilan returned to Taipei. The ladies and friends who were about sixty were on the bus. After sitting on, she found that it was a "Boai seat".! Wait for scolding! "
I talked with a university professor who had passed the Boai seat at the age of, and she laughed with a black hair. The writer's incident was a very small number.She said that some elderly people can go up the mountain to walk up the mountain, but when they get on the car, they are rational and want to give up, and even the seats of young people have heard of the seats, so don't blame young people to not let the seats.Mutual respect, attitude and goodness are the most basic ways of getting along with generations.
Similar "priority" disputes have also occurred in Singapore.For example, in May this year, there was a video of "Do not let the seat given to the elder": the young man sitting in the priority and the elderly standing confrontation.The man insulting the old man with unclear words in a rough language and taking a photo with his mobile phone.It was discovered that the truth was that the truth was that the old man had a seat and there was a vacant place around, but he was biased to the young people who were prioritized to scold.Sorry, justice cannot be blindly stood by age.
The priority of the Singapore subway, the general public will sit, otherwise, during the busy congestion period, some people do not sit without sitting, but will cause more people to be unable to get on the car.Most people will take the initiative to give their positions to the weak women and children, but the situation does not seem to be more and more common, and most people no longer dare to ask others to make a seat.
The concept of setting up a Boai seat or priority, the earliest originated from the Nordic countries, is the part of the construction of a "barrier -free environment". The purpose is to encourage people with disabled people to take public transportation.And children.Its core spirit is exactly non -hardly, but softly encourages everyone to care for each other, even if it is only a tens of minutes.
Do not let the seat incidents on the surface that young people do not respect the elderly, forming generations of opposition. In fact, it just reminds the subway company that even if the top ten in the world can be proud of it, they should continue to learn and align with the better subway system.EssenceThey must continue to review and improve the space of subway compartments, not just as a reliable and safe transportation tool that provides points.
Compared with the subway in the two places, the Taipei MRT is relatively quiet and passengers are restrained. It is also closer to the European and Japanese subways. It is worth learning from Singapore Metro.The company's management should regularly "micro -service outs", understand the situation on the bus on the spot, and experience the suffering and joy of ordinary people.In addition, through warm broadcasting, patrol and interesting publicity activities to reduce or eliminate the abominable noise brought by the mobile phone, the occurrence of unpleasant incidents, and improve the joy and satisfaction of passengers.
The local subway should also activate the carriage space. As an attraction publicity platform, or encouraging non -profit art and cultural groups to settle in or performing, it can improve the ride experience and bring additional income.In the process of social aging, we cannot avoid the topic and challenges of creating a pro -aging public environment.Each public domain is a cross -view of generations, each other, and testing how to take care of different generations of life scenes.I hope that Singapore and Taipei talks sincerely, and work together to create the first subway system in Asia or the world.
