Abstract:Jessie Chen, a 25-year-old saleswoman at a Tapei exporting firm, nervously rides the city's new commuter train every day. The line, which finally opened in March, four years behind schedule, cuts Chen's commute to about six minutes from the 45 it used to take by bus. Still, she is uneasy. After a computer failure in early June stranded some 2,000 passengers on the elevated track for up to 40 minutes, Chen has doubts about the line's safety. She escaped the ordeal only because she went to work early that day.
