外在因素固然很多,無可否認的,捷運局本身也有能力不足、經驗不夠和人謀不臧等問題。當土地徵收、勞工和管線等問題初步解決後,捷運局內部的明爭暗鬥卻轉而加劇
Although there were many external factors, it cannot be denied that DORTS has had its own problems of inadequate competence, experience and planning.

To many couples in love, such questions are almost blasphemy. They keep their thoughts on these issues to themselves until after they are married, then begin what becomes a never-ending domestic battle, both overt and covert, as they struggle to resolve them. Both sides feel "tricked" and put upon, and the more they fight, the more damage they do to their relationship.

But because we all travel and do business in an environment of low-price competition, we've ended up competing against each other."
