中市復康巴士陷「有車捐不得」困境 林祈烽籲檢討公彩盈餘分配
Newtalk新聞 台中市復康巴士服務雖標榜「六都第一」，年服務近90萬趟次且免費使用，但在亮眼數據背後，卻隱藏著身心障礙者「叫不到車」與善心人士「捐不了車」的雙重荒謬困境。台中市議員林祈烽與施志昌今（9）日於議會民政業務質詢時指出，市府因缺乏營運經費，竟對民間捐贈設下上限，導致民眾想完成遺願捐車卻遭婉拒，要求市府立即檢討公彩盈餘分配基金之運用，提升營運預算以保障身障者外出權。 林祈烽表示，長期接獲民眾投訴復康巴士預約極度困難，不僅車輛不足，常因路線不順無法共乘，導致身障朋友臨時就醫或復健需求落空。更令人錯愕的是，近期有民眾欲捐贈價值150萬元的小型復康巴士以完成母親遺願，卻遭社會局以「今年受贈車輛已達23輛上限」為由拒絕，甚至連轉捐救護車也要排隊，形成「想捐還不能捐」的怪象。 根據數據顯示，台中市小型復康巴士數量從111年的276輛，到今年僅增至290輛，四年來僅成長14輛，遠追不上逐年攀升的接送需求。反觀民間捐贈熱度，113年曾受贈高達74輛，但今年市府卻將收車上限砍至23輛，且4月即告額滿，後續捐贈意願被迫延至明年。 林祈烽指出，問題的核心在於「市民捐得起，市府養不起」。復康巴士的後續維修、油資、稅金及司機人力皆需營運經費，但由「公益彩券盈餘分配基金」支應的預算，四年來僅從2.3億元增加至2.6億元，區區3千萬元的增幅顯然不足以支持整體服務量能的擴張。 針對此困境，林祈烽要求市府全面檢討公彩盈餘分配基金的分配比例，逐年提高復康巴士營運預算，並同步調升司機薪資以改善人力結構，確保「每一輛受贈車輛都能上路」，而非讓民眾空等。同時，他也建議市府應引導民間資源轉向托育資源行動車，或改以共同集資方式募集中型復康巴士，增加捐贈彈性。 林祈烽強調，復康巴士是身障者社會參與的基本保障，市府有責任接住每一份愛心與每一位有需求的朋友，不應讓營運預算的短缺成為阻礙社會福利的絆腳石。 社會局長廖靜芝回應表示，隨著台中市人口增長，市府確實有逐年增加復康巴士數量的需求。由於相關經費需透過公彩盈餘分配基金支應，社會局將針對議員建議，積極研議調升營運預算，以應對日益增長的服務需求。延伸閱讀：軌道經濟與商圈機能雙利多 台中北屯機捷特區邁入「價值兌現期」(影)全台參拜行程疑為選總統布局？盧秀燕：為國祈福「不必想太多」停戰才一天 荷姆茲又關閉! 不信任美國 專家 : 伊朗暗留「文字上退路」(影) 12噸KitKat失竊重案！雀巢出動總統級護送運輸車！禽獸教練性侵卻要全民買單？ 林德宇怒轟中市府：國賠不准「無聲無息」
停戰才一天 荷姆茲又關閉! 不信任美國 專家 : 伊朗暗留「文字上退路」
Newtalk新聞 當地時間 8 日，美伊臨時停火生效的第一天，以軍對黎真主黨發動本輪衝突以來最大規模空襲，伊朗方面稱其違反停火協議，再次關閉了荷姆茲海峽並威脅準備對以色列軍事目標採取威懾行動。 對此，中國現代國際關係研究院中東研究所副所長秦天表示，荷姆茲海峽並非常識中全然的「封鎖」或「關閉」，也絕不是正常的「開放通行」——伊朗正在為自己創造「文字上的退路」。 伊朗伊斯蘭議會議長加利巴夫 8 日發表聲明說，伊朗與美國的談判尚未開始，伊方所提 10 項停戰條款已有 3 項遭到違反。聲明說，伊朗對美國「根深蒂固」的不信任源自美方屢次違反各種形式的承諾。令人遺憾的是，這種情況再次重演。 伊朗議會議長穆罕默德－巴蓋爾．加利巴夫。 圖：翻攝自 X @cex_news 美伊宣佈同意臨時停火當天，上海外國語大學中東研究所副教授趙軍指出，雖然以色列是美國的關鍵盟友，但也被視為美伊達成停火協定進程中的最大不確定因素。「如果川普宣佈同意停火，以色列拒絕跟進或者繼續在黎巴嫩和敘利亞擴大戰果，那麼美伊之間的停火將變得極度脆弱。」 趙軍指出，雖然美國和以色列在「削弱伊朗」這一戰略目標上達成一致，但在最終期望達成的戰果以及手段上，二者存在差異。 8 日，伊朗港口和海事組織公佈荷姆茲海峽水域安全航路圖，告知往來船隻遵守航運安全原則，避免觸雷。 該組織在聲明中說，2 月 28 日至 4 月 8 日，波斯灣和荷姆茲海峽水域戰事不斷，荷姆茲海峽主要航道內可能存在各類反艦水雷。為確保海上航運安全，避免觸雷，往來船舶應按照伊朗方面公佈的安全航路圖航行，直至另行通知。 荷姆茲海峽遭到伊朗封鎖，導致國際油氣價格高檔震盪。 圖：翻攝自 …
