Wang Guocai, Minister of State Affairs at the Ministry of Communications, said that spare parts are usually things that need to be replaced from time to time. This type of semi-permanent connector breaks during the trial run of a new car. Even the Taipei City MRT Office thinks it’s strange. The reason, the axle material, etc. must be understood and the Ministry of Transport will also assist and supervise.He Xinchun said that if the Taichung MRT has not been inspected and approved by the Ministry of Communications, the trial operation will not be possible after it is confirmed that there are no problems. The Ministry of Communications has the responsibility for supervision and supervision and cannot avoid responsibility. After the accident, there were no parts to replace, which made her worry that public transportation systems did not have enough parts and complete parts management systems.
The people of Taichung have been waiting for the MRT for more than ten years. This year they can finally be on the road. The result is that the vehicle connector is broken. He Xinchun said that the general public finds this unbelievable, although Taichung Mayor Lu Xiuyan has said that he must take full responsibility. But this is not just a question of who is in charge, but a question of road safety and people’s trust in public transport; asked the Ministry of Transport to review it carefully. In the future, the review and survey of the national mass rapid transit system should be completed. SOP, to protect the road safety of the Chinese.
Lawmaker Chen Suyue said that as the first MRT in Central China, everyone has been waiting for it for a long time. This time the connector broke and even Japanese companies were dumbfounded.

Does the Ministry know the cause of the event and will the official opening hours to traffic be delayed (December 19)?
According to Wang Guocai, the service life of a general connector can be 8 years. This is not a consumable product.

There are problems in the manufacturing process, material problems or maintenance problems after the vehicles arrive in Taiwan. Now the Taichung city government and the original Kawasaki Heavy Industries factory understand the situation.

Therefore, the Taichung city government and the Taipei MRT will be invited. The office will write a report on the problems found to the Ministry of Transport, for the Ministry of Transport to help find the problem thoroughly and improve it. Regarding the opening hours, the follow-up will be decided by the Taichung City Government.
