Information Services Make for Easier Navigation in Taipei Jason Lin Makes Transportation More Convenient by Empathizing 資訊服務有感覺臺北好行無障礙 林志盈用同理心讓交通更便利
In the age before GPS devices and smart phones, the most common excuses for standing people up or being late for school were things like “I couldn’t catch the bus and I didn’t have money to take a taxi” or “I waited for half an hour without seeing a single bus!”
在沒有GPS、智慧型手機也還沒出現的年代，和人約見面被放鴿子，或是學生上學遲到，最常聽到的理由多半會是「沒趕上公車，又沒錢搭計程車」、「等了半小時也等不到公車」之類千篇一律的開場白。
Beginning in late April of 2011, the Taipei City Department of Transportation began making the “Taipei Easy Go” app available in the App Store and Android Market. This app provides information on the locations of Taipei City buses, parking lots, real-time traffic conditions, and bicycles, etc., and provides recommendations for transferring between buses and MRT lines, as well as schedules for the Taiwan Railway, High Speed Railway, Songshan Airport, and coach lines. By the end of June, the app had been downloaded more than 80 thousand times and ranked No. 1 in the App Store’s travel category, which shows that there is a huge demand for real-time transportation information.
從2011年4月底開始，臺北市交通局開始在App Store和Android Market上提供「臺北好行」App，提供北市公車動態、交通資訊（停車場、即時路況、單車…）、公車捷運轉乘建議、台鐵／高鐵／松山機場航班及客運轉程時刻查詢等多項交通資訊服務。到6月底下載次數已超過8萬次，更曾在App Store旅遊類排行榜位居第1名，顯示民眾對即時交通資訊的迫切需求。
Commissioner Jason Tse-Ying Lin of the Taipei City Department of Transportation pointed out that having too much information in our modern lives can cause anxiety, but if we can proactively manage and utilize the information instead of being overwhelmed by it, we can improve our quality of life.
臺北市交通局長林志盈表示，現代人生活中充滿各種資訊，造成焦慮。如果能夠主動掌握及利用資訊，而不是被資訊淹沒產生壓力，就能讓生活過得更有品質。
In order to help more people appreciate the transportation information services provided by the Taipei City Department of Transportation, Jason Tse-Ying Lin uses the “Taipei Easy Go” app every week. By setting a reminder for 5 minutes before the bus arrives, he can plan when to head to the bus stop without wasting any time waiting.
為了讓民眾對臺北市交通局所提供的交通資訊服務更「有感」，林志盈每周都會親自使用「臺北好行」，在設定的公車到站前5分鐘提醒，就能掌握時間搭車，不必花間等車。
