Recent conflicts over priority seats on Taipei's MRT have reignited debates on their abolition, with the Ministry of Health and Welfare supporting the retention of these seats. The Minister of Health and Welfare, Chen Shih-chung, expressed the intent to address the priority seat issue separately from other controversies within the 'Rights of Persons with Disabilities Protection Act', aiming to expedite the legislative process. However, disability advocacy groups emphasize that priority seats are only a small part of the Act and urge for a comprehensive overhaul of the legislation to better protect the rights of disabled individuals.
