2026-10-12
Thousands of supporters gathered across Taipei for Puma Shen’s first campaign motorcade. Shen officially launched his Taipei O’Shen Wave campaign on Sunday. The convoy weaved through Zhongshan and Datong districts. Besides the enthusiastic crowds who greeted him at the starting point in the early morning, many followed on YouBikes and scooters. Official sources claim 2,000 vehicles followed and more than 10,000 supporters showed up. From Dihua Sewage Treatment Plant to Baoan Temple, Shen canvassed a 14km route taking more than 2 hours.
Wearing a striped black and white shirt and a bright orange scarf, Puma Shen kick started his motorcade campaign and sent supporters into frenzy to capture photos of the voyage.
The motorcade was surrounded by supporters waving flags and shouting for Shen. Closely behind were rows and rows of motorcycles and YouBikes that stretched as far as the eye could see. Official statistics reveal over 2,000 vehicles followed and took more than 15 minutes to depart from the starting point.
The motorcade campaign was flooded with supporters. Some held up signs, others waved flags and yet others cheered on Shen.
The O’Shen wave boosted sales for nearby vendors.
- Very good, very good
- Are there more preparations today?
- Yes! Yes! Yes!

Supports leadership change
Our Taipei City is very bitter and very boring, it’s been nearly 20 years since Chen Shui-bian was mayor, and resentment has been building for a long time.
As the citizens aired their grievances, it became evident that the public has felt bitter for very long, which is why they want to see a change in leadership. Crowds gathered both on ground and online through the livestream with more than 60,000 viewers.
- Mackay Memorial Hospital
- Hospital cannot use microphone
As the motorcade passed by the Mackay Memorial Hospital, they reminded not to use microphones to avoid disturbing patients. During the motorcade, people held up signs and changed the slogans stating, “Compatriots must unite, unity is powerful,” to, “Taipei must unite, unity is powerful.” Shen felt deeply moved after seeing the signs, however he also observed some citizens making obscene gestures and responded with the following.
- Better than very straight.
Puma Shen
Taipei Mayoral Candidate (DPP)
In a democratic society, everyone is entitled to expressing their opinions; I think this lets everyone’s emotions find an outlet. I think it’s for the better. The first time I was at Baoan Temple was when I first started running for election, there were maybe around 1-200 people, but this time there were certainly more, we all felt very moved.
When the motorcade came to a stop, Taipei’s O’Shen wave arrived at Baoan Temple. The crowd swarmed the area spreading out to the surrounding business district. Matching the crowd sizes of election nights, the aerial photos were spectacular. Shen put forward five major policies for Zhongshan and Datong, including a service team to extend life in old houses, companionship for the elderly, and the Yuanshan Citizen Sports Center.

2026-10-12
民進黨台北市長參選人沈伯洋，台北大洋流號車掃活動，週日正式啟航，車隊在中山、大同區穿梭，除了起點早早聚集大批熱情民眾，沿途支持者、有的騎Youbike，和機車不斷加入，官方統計，後方至少跟了2000輛，聚集民眾破萬，宛如貪食蛇。算算從蔣渭水公園到保安宮，14公里的距離，沈伯洋的車隊花超過2小時，晚半小時才抵達
黑白條紋、橘色領巾亮相，船長沈伯洋登上洋流號，讓支持者嗨翻了，爭相上前要拍下首航畫面。
戰車前擠滿人揮旗喊凍蒜、後面還接著一整排機車、YouBike，隊伍看不到鏡頭，貪食蛇車流官方統計超過2000輛，啟航15分鐘後，才全部駛離起點。沿線路口、人行道早已站滿民眾拿應援小物相挺，附近商家也被洋流帶動買氣。
-很好很好
-今天有沒有多備料?
-有有有

“我們台北市民已經很苦很悶了，阿扁市長的時候已經快將近20年，積怨已久。”
市民吐怨氣，真的悶太久了，才想換人做做看，不只線下人潮多，線上還有超過6萬人同時觀看。而沈伯洋車掃也有暖心一面。
-馬偕醫院
-醫院不能用麥克風
行經醫院提醒別用麥克風，就怕打擾病患休息，不過街掃過程看見有民眾高舉標語，有人將政治運動先驅蔣渭水口號「同胞須團結，團結真有力」改成「台北須團結，團結真有力」，讓沈伯洋感性發文稱自己看見標語就紅了眼眶，但也遇見選民比出不雅手勢，沈伯洋這樣回應。
-比超直的超厲害的
[[台北市長參選人(民) 沈伯洋]]
“民主社會大家表達他們的意見，覺得也都是讓大家心情上有一個發洩，我覺得也都是蠻好的。我最早到保安宮的那一次，也就是剛參選的時候，那時候大概可能就是一兩百人，那這一次當然人很多，我們自己都覺得很感動。”
車掃結束，「台北大洋流」抵達大龍峒保安宮，舞台前人潮擠爆，從廣場一路往外擴散到周邊商圈，人山人海，有如選前之夜，空拍超壯觀。沈伯洋提出中山大同5大政見，包括老宅延壽服務團、長輩有人陪、圓山超級市民運動中心等。
