Disputes Over Priority Seats Escalate: Second Altercation Within One Week Prompts Calls for Abolition, Ministry of Health and Welfare Responds

Reported about 1 year ago

On June 18, in Taipei, a 75-year-old man and a 29-year-old man engaged in a physical altercation over a priority seat on the MRT, with the elderly man striking the younger man in the head. This is the second incident in a week, leading to calls for the abolition of priority seats, now deemed as 'love-seat of contention.' The Ministry of Health and Welfare has responded by proposing legislative amendments to address the issue. The root cause of these altercations lies in differing interpretations of legislation concerning priority seats on public transportation, creating ongoing societal tensions and debates.
