On June 18, 2024, a conflict broke out on the Taipei MRT Songshan-Xindian Line when a young man sat in the priority seat due to feeling unwell and refused to give it up. An elderly man demanded the seat and resorted to verbal abuse and physical violence, leading to both parties filing assault charges. The incident was captured on video where a female passenger was heard telling the elderly man off. Authorities clarified that priority seats are not reserved for the elderly exclusively and urged passengers to show empathy and abide by public transport rules.
