AI Summary (NQ-processed)
A civic group, Citizen-Push, announced on the 19th the results of a self-initiated opinion poll, which indicates that Yilan locals are generally reserved about the High-Speed Rail (HSR) extension project. The poll suggests that after considering factors like transfers, long-term development for Yilan, and costs, the public prefers the Taiwan Railways' (TRA) "Taipei-Yilan Direct Railway" proposal. This finding shows a significant gap with the "local anticipation" repeatedly claimed by the government.
