During the trial, the court commissioned Feng Chia University’s Vehicle Accident Investigation Center to review the crash. The center analyzed 186 seconds of dashcam footage, breaking the video into 5,426 frames for comparison. The analysis found that the bus maintained a straight path and did not veer, while Chuang moved into the bus’s right-side blind spot from behind.

Chen compared the bridge to a successful operation finished with bad stitches. The main engineering work may be good, he said, but people will still notice a poorly finished result. The new bridge is shorter because the railway beneath it has been moved underground. Officials say it will improve traffic and reconnect areas that were previously separated by rail infrastructure

Kaohsiung Mayor Chen Chi-mai (陳其邁) said Thursday the original railings were “ugly” and embarrassing, but said the bridge’s construction quality and safety met standards. Chen said the city would continue making adjustments and should accept public criticism of public works projects.

Eleven bus routes serving Fongshan Transfer Station (鳳山轉運站) will change stops or routes from Aug. 1 because of construction linked to the MRT O13 Dadong Station (大東站) joint development project, the Kaohsiung Transportation Bureau said.

The bridge drew criticism in recent days after residents said the red railings along the bridge deck resembled Japanese torii gates. Others raised safety concerns, saying the gaps between the railings appeared too wide. The city’s New Construction Office said the open railing design was chosen to preserve views of the Love River, but contractors have since repainted the railings white and started installing protective netting.

The Cabinet on Thursday outlined a rail development plan aimed at cutting travel time between Kaohsiung and Taitung to about 90 minutes, with a proposed high-speed rail extension through central Kaohsiung to Pingtung forming a key part of the project.

In the recording, the pilot tells the tower that cabin crew had reported a child was not seated and that the aircraft could not land under those conditions. The pilot then requested to circle once before attempting to land again. The tower canceled the approach and instructed the aircraft to turn right for another loop. The flight landed safely at 11:52 a.m. The audio later circulated on Threads, where many users praised the pilot for following safety procedures. Others criticized the child’s parents, though some commenters said people should avoid making assumptions without knowing the full situation on board.

Construction crews have begun removing underground foundation piles left from the former Zihciang Overpass in Fongshan District, as work continues on the Kaohsiung MRT Yellow Line. The city said crews will use casing equipment to cut and pull out the old piles, a method intended to reduce noise, vibration, and dust.

As of early July, the second phase of the Gangshan-Lujhu extension (岡山路竹延伸線) was 28.53% complete, 2.94 percentage points ahead of schedule. The Yellow Line was 12.71% complete, 1.64 percentage points ahead of schedule, while the Siaogang-Linyuan Line (小港林園線) was 15.43% complete, 1.9 percentage points ahead of schedule.
