Taichung continues to live up to its reputation for traffic hazards. Recently, a public bus in the city started driving without closing its rear door, posing a danger to students crowded on the bus. In addition, a scooter was spotted driving with office furniture piled high on the seat, breaking traffic laws.
A scooter in Taichung prepares to make a left turn at a busy intersection, but its seat is piled high with furniture.
Taking a closer look, there’s an office chair, cushioned seat, metal basket, and even a water gun all carefully stacked together and tied down to the seat. Passersby couldn’t help noticing the spectacle. But driving a scooter like this is dangerous and against the law.
Liao Chin-hsiang
Police officer
If a scooter is loaded with items that are higher than the driver’s shoulders, the driver would be fined from NT$300 to NT$600 in accordance with the Road Traffic Management and Penalty Act.
Another unusual traffic hazard occurred in Taichung recently, when a bus left its rear door open.
Students stand in the no-standing zone by the bus door, showing that the bus was crowded. Although it’s driving down the street, its rear door is wide open.
Ho Chang-wei
Taichung Bus assistant manager
We discovered that our driver neglected to close the door after letting passengers on and off the bus.
Member of public
This is very dangerous. It should be dealt with immediately.
Buses usually have a safety mechanism that locks the gas pedal when the doors are open. Whether it was a mechanical issue or negligence, the driver is likely to be fined by the police and bus company.
Ho Chang-wei
Taichung Bus assistant manager
We will communicate with and reeducate the driver, as well as issue a demerit as punishment. In addition, we will brief all drivers on the issue. Regarding the safety mechanism for the accelerator, our company will conduct a comprehensive inspection.
Driving with an open door poses a danger to all passengers on board. From scooters to buses, Taichung is maintaining its reputation for traffic hazards.

西屯區出現"移動城堡" 機車後座綑綁辦公椅.家具
2025-10-17
台中市出現交通奇景，有一輛公車行經一中商圈時，後車門沒關，直接在路上行駛，而當時車上有許多學生，因此他們只能緊握扶手，驚險畫面傳開，引起討論。另外，在西屯區福科路上，還出現了移動式雜物城堡，一名騎士，把辦公椅、坐墊等傢俱，捆綁在機車上，騎車趴趴走。
路上車來車往，一台機車，緩緩靠近待轉區，但是，他的後座，非常吸睛。
放大一看，辦公椅、鐵籃子，各種雜物傢俱，疊高高的，通通被綁在機車後座，路上巧遇移動式雜物城堡，一旁路人，都忍不住，轉頭看個幾眼，但這樣騎車，危險也違規。
[[台中警六分局永福所長 廖錦祥]]
“如機車駕駛附載物品高度超過駕駛人肩部，將依道路交通管理處罰條例，處駕駛人新臺幣300元以上，600元以下罰鍰。”
在台中，還有其他驚險畫面，而場景來到了公車上。
學生站在禁止站立區，可見車上人潮相當擁擠，但最可怕的是，行駛中的公車，怎麼會大門敞開?

“經查是我們駕駛長，他在上下完乘客之後，因為疏忽，沒有關閉車門。”
[[民眾]]
“這算是一個蠻危險的動作了，應該馬上處理。”
公車通常都配有安全裝置，只要車門沒關，油門就踩不下去，不過不管是設備問題，還是駕駛疏忽，這位公車司機，都會被警方及所屬公司開罰。
[[台中客運襄理 何璋慰]]
“會對駕駛長溝通再教育，以及記過懲處。另外的部分，會再全面的向所有駕駛長宣導，那針對油門互鎖的安全開關，我們公司會再全面去做檢查。”
公車門開開，在路上趴趴走，若是乘客不慎掉下車，後果難以想像。
