In January this year, a record was set, and a total of 86 fines were issued, of which 71 were in front of the C22 United Hospital station; The MRT Bureau invited the Kaohsiung Rapid Police to strengthen publicity, and also invited relevant units to survey the site, and initially decided to install low railings.

However, the short railings have not yet been installed. The number of fines for the opening of the light rail in February has been released. There are 79 cases in the operating section, and 71 cases in front of the C22 United Hospital Station, which is the same as in January.

According to the analysis of the police, most of the violators may be visiting patients in the hospital or visiting relatives and friends. In the past, they used to enter and exit directly through the gate, but now there are more light rail stations and tracks at the gate. Some people are unwilling to walk more, and there is almost no isolation beside the track facilities, so I chose to cross directly, resulting in penalties for violations.

The Gaocheng MRT Bureau pointed out that the previous survey had initially decided to set up low railings beside the track to make the public more aware that they could not cross. In view of the many fines issued in February, the progress of setting up low railings will be accelerated, and the public is again called on to abide by the rules .
