Reporter Pan Liangwei / Taichung Report 【Posted at 09:19 12/14 ｜ 11:03 Update: New video and audio】
The Taichung MRT Green Line was stopped on November 21 due to a broken train connector shaft. During the full overhaul, the second axle was found to be broken and all 5 sets of wagons could not be opened for inspection. The conditions were endless. Taichung Mayor Lu Xiuyan directed the heads of the relevant offices to bow down and apologize to all walks of life this morning, saying, “I would rather be scolded, but the safety of citizens is paramount,” and announced officially that the opening date was postponed.

“I insist, you are safe!” Mayor Lu Xiuyan pointed out that the test results and solutions proposed by the northern Czech Republic and Kawasaki Heavy Industries cannot reassure the city government. For this reason, the city government will establish a “MRT Failure Review Committee” to hire domestic machinery experts and academics in materials, rails, etc. help the city government professionally review the reports and solutions proposed by the NorthJet Bureau and Kawasaki Heavy Industries. In future, the city government will discuss the opening date after committee approval. “There is no security, there is no traffic, even if they scold you, you must first do public safety.”

Transport Commissioner Ye Zhaofu explained that the central government requested that the testing of the four aspects of design, manufacture, installation and materials be expanded. Although the Beijie Office proposed that the initial cause of the fracture was a material and installation issue, it was still unable to fully clarify it. According to the test results of the commissioned manufacturer SGS (Taiwan Inspection Technology Co., Ltd.), the yield strength and the tensile strength of the broken connector shaft do not meet the design standards. Doubt is not a case. Although the Beijie Bureau and Kawasaki Heavy Industries proposed optimizing the shaft design, they had reservations about inquiries from the city government on whether the problem could be effectively solved. If the axle is completely replaced, the upgrade is estimated to be completed in February next year. Zhongjie believes that “the show is too optimistic.” The safety review and commissioning plan should be included in the operations program. I’m afraid it will take at least half a year to come up with a new program.
In the 23 days since the Zhongjie train breakdown, the city government has called several meetings and asked the Czech Republic of the North and Kawasaki Heavy Industries to expand inspections, and also returned related reports for the second time. In response to concerns about compensation from the outside world, the Taichung city government stated that it will depend on the exact opening. Date, there is a way to calculate the extent of the loss, according to the number of days, and then seek compensation from Beijie.
