A dispute over a priority seat unfolded on a Taipei MRT train on the night of the 11th, where a woman surnamed Lin, exhausted from a 12-hour workday, was asked to give up her seat by an elderly woman. Lin refused and a senior man, Mr. Li, intervened, leading to a physical altercation. Upon reaching Fuxinggang Station, the situation was coordinated with station staff and security. Lin, following an apology, collapsed emotionally and struck her head vigorously against a station pillar, resulting in a face covered in blood. Authorities arrived, and both parties expressed a temporary willingness to forgo legal action. The incident highlights the need for public cooperation and adherence to regulations on public transportation, with statistics showing a significant number of disputes, including over seating, on the metro system. Authorities urge passengers to follow guidelines and report emergencies promptly for swift intervention.
