Recent disputes over priority seats in Taiwan's public transportation system have sparked discussions, with a video of an elderly man resorting to violence on the MRT gaining public outrage. While Minister of Health and Welfare Shih Chung-liang stated that priority seats would not be abolished, Taipei Mayor Chiang Wan-an emphasized the importance of showing the city's warmth and kindness through the seats, cautioning against moral coercion. However, lawyer Chen Chun-wei suggested that the term 'priority seat' could be less misleading than 'priority seat,' urging for adjustments in accordance with laws. These debates have taken place in the context of recent incidents on the Taipei Metro.
