The government already subsidize petrol scooters. I posted previously a quote from a professor of Civil Engineering at NTU who said scooter riders pay 40% of the actual total costs they should pay. Which is total insanity.
I would prefer more money thrown at mass transport and proper cycling infrastructure. Im Ok with subsidies for EV. Subsidizing petrol scooters and cars is next level stupidity and laziness. At least get these things out of the 騎樓。
We can only believe in Mayor Ko. For all his problems, he is the only one in Taiwan willing to take flak to do the right thing. Only hope is new politicians come up following his spirit
