Mayor Zhang Shanzheng stated at a city council meeting that with the support of corporations and benevolent individuals, 43 accessible shuttle buses have been donated in the past three years. Even with the simultaneous replacement of old vehicles, the city's operational fleet has now surpassed 200 vehicles. An additional 8 new vehicles are expected by the end of this year, bringing the total to 208, providing more stable and sufficient transportation services to meet the growing demand.
Mayor Zhang Shanzheng added that the city government is committed to the 'digital transformation' of transportation efficiency by integrating the originally separate north and south dispatch systems to achieve city-wide unified dispatching, enhancing vehicle support flexibility. The introduction of LINE and a dedicated app booking mechanism has increased the booking success rate from 92% in 2023 to 97% last year, with over 410,000 trips dispatched annually.
Mayor Zhang Shanzheng pointed out that about 65% of accessible shuttle bus services are used for medical visits and rehabilitation. Without affecting the main mission, the city government is actively expanding diverse services such as for schooling, employment, and 'friendly short trips'. During large events like lantern festivals, the city government will also add support vehicles to help people with disabilities go out, participate in city life, and enjoy a more convenient living environment.
