FTV News / Reported by Lin Xiuyi and Huang Yuchun from Taipei

Taipei Mayor Jiang Wan’an had previously proposed during the election campaign that YouBike would be free for the first half hour. Now it is rumored that it will only be free for students, which is like a policy bounce, and the utilization rate hit a new high last year. The traffic bureau wants to fight for funding for fear that the dispatch will not meet the demand. The expansion was also criticized by the city government executives. Councilor Jian Shupei criticized it, and implemented it rashly without knowing the usage conditions.

With a beep on the EasyCard, you can use YouBike to commute, which is convenient for commuting to work and school. Taipei Mayor Jiang Wanan called for the resumption of free political opinions for the first 30 minutes following the election last year.

Taipei Mayor Jiang Wan’an (2022.11.09) said, “Including the reinstatement of the first 30 minutes of Youbike free of charge, and the multiple flexible monthly ticket mechanism, all thinking from this direction.”

Ke Wenzhe’s administration is paid by users. Now Ke Guijiang does not follow suit, but now it is rumored that there is no way for everyone to be free for the first 30 minutes. Instead, the research is limited to the student group. There is a chance that it will be implemented by the end of this year, making the outside world question the policy. .

The people said, “Some sites, such as sites near schools, often have no cars to borrow during peak hours. Youbike may still need scheduling to achieve better utilization.”, “It is recommended that he prepare the hardware first. Well, it may be more ideal to gradually open up the policy, and of course the rights of students are also very important.”

The public also pointed out problems. At this stage, the hardware should be prepared first. At present, there are more than 1,200 YouBike2.0 rental stations in Beishi, with more than 13,000 vehicles. Last year alone, there were 34 million rentals, and the utilization rate hit a new high. In order to solve the problem of no cars to borrow, the Transportation Bureau proposed to expand 4,000 YouBikes. The government-level meeting fought for funds, but was shot by the high-level officials.

Liao Yuanling, section chief of the Beishi Transportation Bureau, said, “We have considered that since the construction is complete and the utilization rate is high, we have evaluated whether to expand it.”

Taipei City Councilor (Citizen) Jian Shupei said, “Rush to implement it now will make Youbike no car to borrow, and may be borrowed for free, instead of really needing to be used. It is not ready yet, and resources should not be wasted. .”

Chen Youcheng, a Taipei city councilor (public citizen), said, “In fact, this is the skipped votes promised, including the related Youbike, which was not sent to the council. The Chiang City Government did not do their homework before the election, and did not plan carefully following the election. First, quickly and actively expand the station. , and then find a way to offer discounts.”

At the beginning, Jiang Wan’an wanted to spend a small amount of money to save energy and reduce carbon emissions, but now that the money is not in place and the car is not enough to ride, he wants to fight for his political views, but he is afraid that it will not meet the expectations of the public.
