The Ministry of Economic Affairs decided that the industrial electricity consumption will increase by 15%, which will make the Taipei MRT jump. The annual budget may increase the cost by 300 million yuan. Tao Jie also said that the electricity cost has increased by 35 million yuan. Gao Jie also hopes that Taipower will give preferential subsidies. Otherwise, it may have to be passed on to the fare, and commuters will be affected in the end.
Reporter Lin Li: “The Ministry of Economic Affairs has decided that the electricity price for industrial electricity will be increased by 15%, which will make the Taipei MRT jump. It is only air-conditioning lighting, and the use of escalators. The annual budget will probably increase, and the cost will be regarding 300 million yuan. .”
Beijie made a big move to protest, saying that the fare has not been raised for 26 years. In addition, the epidemic has suffered losses year following year, and the cost of electricity accounts for 10% of all expenditures. Although the cost has been reduced, it still bluntly said that the fare may not be able to hold.
People: “It’s not reasonable. Many prices are rising now, and it’s already very expensive.”
Although it is said that the adjustment of MRT fares still needs to be discussed, this wave of price increases may still affect the wallets of commuters. The industry believes that the increase is beyond expectations. The North-Central-South MRT Corporation called Taipower for subsidies, but it will not be cold back. Increase the discount, following all, Taipower itself has a lot of losses. In fact, some people can understand the increase in electricity prices.
People: “It’s still going to go up, otherwise Taipower will lose too much, and the MRT (fare) is actually relatively cheap. After all, the fare has not been adjusted for a long time.”
In addition, Taojie Co., Ltd. also said that although Taipower provides a 5% discount on rail electricity charges, the transportation volume and ticket collection are still affected by the epidemic. Also called subsidy +1. After all, compared with the highest daily transportation volume of 179,000 in 2019, there are only regarding 100,000 passengers left, and the cumulative loss has reached 750 million. In addition, the electricity price has risen once more.
Wang Baiyan, director of public affairs of the MRT, said: “If the electricity price increases by 5%, the annual expenditure on electricity bills will increase by as much as 15 million to 20 million yuan.”
There are also dual railways in rail transportation. The high-speed rail said that the adjustment of fare rates is carried out by the Ministry of Transport every year, and the changes in the general consumer price index are regularly reviewed. He also said that there is currently no plan to adjust the fares, but that even if the Ministry of Economic Affairs does not increase the consumption of people’s livelihood this time, the transportation fares are planned to be passed on, and there will still be a large amount of expenditure every month, and the consumers will still suffer in the end.
