DPP Legislator Kao Chien-chih (高建智) told a press conference that a safety reexamination of the cable car was necessary, given that 77 malfunctions have occurred since system began operations on July 4.

"The quality and management [of the system] are problematic," he said.

"Therefore, without a thorough safety examination, the cable car operation should be fully suspended," Kao said.
