[Reporter Zheng Mingxiang/Taipei Report] Taipei City and New Taipei City used to have a heated dispute over the management rights of the circular line. After taking office, Taipei Mayor Jiang Wanan softened his attitude and transferred the first phase of management rights to the New Taipei City Government before the deadline. However, the right to operate the entire section of the follow-up section has not yet been determined; Taipei City Councilor Zhong Peiling believes that after the completion of the ring line, it will span 14 administrative districts in Shuangbei and connect the overall rail transportation in the Greater Taipei area. Hand over to others.

Zhong Peiling said that although the first phase of the circular line currently open to traffic is located in New Taipei City, it is understandable that the handover will be handed over after the contract expires, but it is not known what consensus Jiang Wanan and New Taipei Mayor Hou Youyi have reached, because in the future the circular line will be completed after the entire line is completed. Across the 14 administrative districts of Shuangbei, connecting the overall rail transportation in the greater Taipei area, the ownership of the management rights of such a major issue can be easily compromised, which makes people question whether the two mayors are so easy to talk to?

Zhong Peiling also pointed out that Taipei City accounted for half of the total apportioned funds for the ring line project, 50.26%. Although Shuangbei City shares a living circle, Taipei City bears most of the responsibilities and obligations. The Jiang Municipal Government should spread out the data and calculate clearly on the issue of management rights, and should not avoid answering.
