I want these scooters off the streets!

Hamletintaiwan:

imagine if these were all cars. btw, this is sanchong anytime 6AM-11PM at any intersection. hopefully the new MRT will cut it down a little…BUT! the MRT or busses don’t actually connect sanchong to other parts in sanchong…only across the bridges to taipei city.

Why are there so many people wearing a face mask?
They obviously do realize that something is terribly wrong here.
Something between 500 and 1000 combustion engines in this cramped space, all of them are idling.
How much less gas do they use compare to 1000 cars idling? Not much I guess.

If their engines automatically turned of every time the scooter came to a stand still and accelerated to 25 km/h on an electric engine before the combustion engine kicks in, it wouldn’t be this bad.
There are no laws demanding any progress to make these kind of sights a thing of the past. People standing in their own stench and wearing useless face masks.

Ridiculous!

Anyone remember this old thread and what was said?
