In an exclusive report on July 6, 2024, political commentator 何豪毅 criticized the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) for recent actions in the Legislative Yuan. DPP legislators took drastic measures during a session to pass election reform laws, including seizing the chairman's seat, limiting the movement of staff, and disrupting proceedings. This behavior not only violates the law but also undermines democratic principles. The DPP's actions, such as arbitrarily canceling meetings of other committees to boycott the review of the bill, are considered a serious threat to democracy and have caused outrage among other lawmakers. These actions not only violate the law but also break the trust between the elected representatives and the voters. The DPP legislators involved should be held accountable for these unconstitutional and chaotic governance practices.

As reported by TTV News on July 6, 2024, the basic fare of national highway buses has remained unchanged for almost 18 years, with a slight increase confirmed in May. Currently, 11 bus companies have submitted fare adjustment applications, expected to be implemented as early as November. The approved maximum fare increase for four-row seating buses is 1.56%, while for three-row seating buses, it is 6.46%.

Bus operators such as Capital Bus have applied for a two-thirds fare increase subsidy adjustment, likely to reflect in ticket prices as early as November, affecting routes like Taipei to Keelung with an increase of around 1 to 2 yuan, without impacting TPASS users.
