Proposed sitting ban splits opinionBy Shelley Shan / Staff reporterA proposal by the Taiwan Railways Administration (TRA) to permanently ban sitting in Taipei Railway Station’s main hall has received a mixed reaction online, with some social media users vowing to launch a sit-in at the station. A Facebook user organizing the sit-in said that the hall is a public space and there is no legitimate reason to ban sitting on the floor. One social media user, Huang Yi-chung (黃益中), said that he has fond memories of sitting in the station’s main hall. Another social media user, Chen Yen-shuo (陳延碩), said the issue is that there is not much seating within the station. Anyone sitting in the hall would be asked to leave, he said.
