Reporter Gu Ting / Taipei Report
Since the end of last year, the epidemic hit people’s livelihoods and all industries have been affected. However, with the success of preventing the epidemic in Taiwan, such as restaurants and international travel, it is gradually recovering. However, an industry is quite miserable. There used to be a dozen stores in the vicinity, but now almost all of them cannot keep up and close their business! “Wufu”, a well-known connection parking lot with the highest volume of traffic, said that as of February this year, the number of connections per month has been zero and they can only accept it reluctantly.

The parking lot of the local brand “Wufu” has been in service for more than 30 years. In the past, passengers could drive to Wufu to park when going abroad. Then there will be a driver to take you to the airport. When you return home, you will also collect the car. The rate is reasonable. Many tourists prefer it. The Wufu parking lot has three floors and can park up to more than 2,000 cars. In previous years, Chinese New Year, winter and summer holidays were popular, guests even had to arrange parking spaces in advance, but no one went abroad due to the epidemic. It now has three floors. The parking lot was empty, all shuttle buses were sold, and all 33 drivers and employees left.

Deputy Li Mr. Dai said: “I have never seen such a miserable situation in so many years of working here. SARS was not so miserable in the past, because it only affected a few months at that time, and now it is about to! affect a year! And it really will be 2 ~ In 3 years, not everyone dared to go abroad yet. “
Mr. Dai said that from February this year, the number of connections will be directly suspended every month. They originally wanted to work hard for a while, because many drivers are veterans who have worked for 10 to 20 years, but they actually last until July. Not being able to continue, I had to grudgingly accept the arduous effort of more than 30 years of operation, and I feel sorry for the employees. All have paid severance pay in accordance with the Labor Standards Act. However, this group of employees faces middle-aged unemployment. The future livelihood remains very difficult, although some changes have been made. Go to other shuttle buses, but after all, there are too many people and some people are still waiting for work and receiving unemployment benefits.
Although the Wufu parking lot belongs to the requisitioned land of Aviation City, sooner or later it will close its business, but the industry also admits that this epidemic wave is equivalent to making this happen before, but they are not prepared and the government has not provided subsidies relevant to the parking lot connection industry, Seeing a dark and empty parking lot now, it is useless to sigh, I can only work hard to find another way out.
