Seeking the abolition of priority seats thenewslens
More than 7,000 people have signed an online petition seeking the abolition of priority seats in Taiwan's public transportation systems.
The petition was launched on Sept. 1 and surpassed the threshold of 5,000 signatures within six days. It has been sent to the National Development Council and an official response will be announced before Nov. 11.
Priority seats in Taiwan are intended for four groups of people: senior citizens, pregnant women, mentally and physically challenged passengers and those traveling with children.
On Aug. 25, a woman posted a photo on Facebook of two high school students sitting in regular seats on the Taipei MRT. Perplexed with the students not giving up their seats to a mother who was traveling with two children, the woman said the students were “a disgrace” and “should become prostitutes.” Although the students were not occupying priority seats, the incident has become part of the debate on the issue.
A student with eyesight issues said on Sept. 3 that he was assigned to a priority seat by security, but was then pressured by a female passenger to give up his seat. The female passenger insisted that he did not seem to belong to any of the four priority groups and questioned his eyesight by waving her hands in front of his face. The student gave up his seat after the female passenger started reprimanding him for being inconsiderate.
Similar controversies over priority seats have occurred in the past, often leading to heated debates in public or on the Internet.
The very utility of priority seats is now being questioned.
Gilbert Pi, who launched the petition, believes that abolishing priority seats could help reduce conflict, but maintains that the idea of giving up seats to those in need should not be abandoned.
While yielding seats to those in need is "the moral thing to do," he says, priority seats are not promoting such civility. He says that although there are no laws regulating the matter, priority seats have influenced people’s judgement on whether one can sit in them or not.
Q:
Do you support the idea that abolition of priority seats in Taiwan’s public transportation systems?

Ways to Feel Better When You're Stuck in a Rut
Do something fun and free.
Oftentimes we are looking to re-experience those exciting moments. And when they don’t come, it can feel like a big letdown. Huge. But we can learn to create our own excitement, and one that doesn’t cost us to do it. Children do it all the time. Watch them in the park and see how happy they are just playing. What is it that you love to do just because?
Be mindful.
When we feel stuck in a rut, we’re usually responding to disappointments based upon what we thought would or should happen. During those times, our funk can be seen as a weapon of resistance we use in hopes that we will magically see change. But being mindful is the ability to focus on the distress of the moment, accept it, and work towards changing it for the better. It takes practice, but doing so goes a long way in cutting out the suffering ruts can bring.
Relax your body.
When we don’t get what we are expecting or hoped for, we feel the weight of it in our bodies, which in turn reinforces negative thoughts and emotions. We may ache or feel tense which sends the message that we are not happy. But we can change the way our body feels by using some good ol’ fashioned breathing techniques, imagery, or meditation. Once we can control how our body reacts to disappointment or other negative feelings, our mind is freer to think more clearly and make better decisions.
Be your own cheerleader.
When you’re in a rut, the last thing you want to do is be encouraging. So it goes without saying that it takes a bit of effort to feel moody, and move through it with a healthy dose of self-encouragement. But when you muster up the strength to cheer yourself on during eventless moments, you show yourself that you are not necessarily moved by dry periods, and can indulge in a sense of gratitude knowing that your ability to thrive isn’t dependent upon your circumstances.
Watch a movie.
Similar to reading, a movie has the opportunity to transport you to otherworldly places, and for 90 minutes your short-term memory can be filled with thoughts and images that make you almost forget you were in a rut in the first place. Sentimental or inspirational movies about people who have overcome challenges are great, and there’s nothing like a warm and fuzzy feel good movie.

博愛座惹爭議 連署廢除人數破七千
博愛座近來引起不少爭議，先是北一女學生被民眾拍下PO網；又有師大的視障學生，被逼迫讓座，現在就有網友在國發會平台上提案「廢除博愛座」，短短5天，超過7千人連署，但真的有必要嗎？捷運乘客看法不一。
捷運上，站著的人很多，博愛座明明空著，卻沒人敢坐，乘客就怕像北一女的學生，無端被PO網辱罵，或跟師大視障生一樣遭嗆聲說「博愛座不是你該坐的」，造成有隱性需求的人，心生畏懼。
日劇《王牌大律師》：「你不覺得體力好的人，把座位讓給體力弱的人，是理所當然的道德禮儀嗎？但是年輕就有體力，上了年紀就沒有體力，這樣一概判斷合適嗎？比如說我今年38歲，但是患有重度心臟病的可能性，你考慮過嗎？」
日劇《王牌大律師》裡，新垣結衣和界雅人，爭辯該不該讓座的片段，引起迴響。可見博愛座爭議，已經成了社會課題，更有人提議，乾脆廢掉好了！
民視記者陳妍伶：「博愛座的存廢引起討論，現在甚至有民眾，在國發會網站發起連署，要廢除博愛座，短短幾天就有超過7000人附議，不過實際來到捷運上訪問民眾，民眾看法不一。」
乘客：「大家都有禮讓的心那可以廢啊，(所以覺得廢了也沒關?係)，還是會有人去讓座。」
乘客：「有博愛座的話可以提醒大家，要禮讓老人家，(沒有的話你敢跟人家說，位子可不可以讓我嗎?)，我不太敢。」
不同年齡層的乘客，有不同考量，連署雖然通過，政府得在11月前回應，但博愛座當初是依《身心障礙者權益保障法》設置，只要不是對號車，都要有15%的博愛座，要廢恐怕還有待討論。
網路評論家朱學恒：「出問題的是正義魔人，那你應該要求這些人改，而不是把發生的所在地，博愛座給要求取消掉，我覺得這用4個字描述最簡單，叫因噎廢食。」
朱學恒也認為，博愛座倡導的是一種道德精神，說廢就廢，恐怕矯枉過正，也失去初衷。（民視新聞陳妍伶、馬登洲台北報導）
