Setting up a national railway safety team
By Robert Wang 魯伯非
Within a few short years, the Taiwan Railways Administration (TRA) has experienced two major train crashes the 2018 derailment of a Puyuma Express train and that of a Taroko Express train on April 2. These two crashes killed a total of 68 people. Putting aside the question of who should resign, the Executive Yuan should quickly establish a “national TRA safety team” along the lines of the “national mask team” that was set up last year to supply the public with masks.
Minister Without Portfolio Chang Jing-sen (張景森) has said that the Executive Yuan’s “general health check team,” of which he is the convener, completed its “general health check on the TRA” in January 2019.
