On June 8, 2024, Minister of Transportation Li Mengyan mentioned during the Dragon Boat Festival inspection that Taiwan Railway ticket prices have been frozen for 29 years, indicating a need for review due to the low prices - such as the fare from Taipei to Banqiao being only 15 NT dollars, cheaper than both the metro and buses. Li Mengyan stated that adjustments will be proposed and implemented through the proper channels. Regarding a recent incident where a Taiwan tour group member was detained in China, Li mentioned that the individual has safely returned to Taiwan, with further investigations being conducted by the Mainland Affairs Council.
