本文旨在提醒本地運輸規劃者，反省過去十年來在捷運規劃領域中的作為。首先， 藉由重新檢視一常為人所遺忘的歷史，臺北捷運中運量木柵線是出自於一個對專業規劃意見 缺乏尊重的政治過程。接著，對於運用高專利技術的捷運系統，提出警愓。而臺灣其它城市 進行大眾捷運計畫時，應鼓勵政府執行完整的檢討規劃。最後，要求專業運輸規劃者省思其 角色，與運輸學者、分析師或工程師之差異。

　　　　　This article is an attempt to prompt the transportation planners in our country to reflect upon what we have done in the field of transit planning over the past decade. It begins by revisiting the often forgotten history of how the "Taipei Mucha Medium Capacity Transit Line" came into being: a political process that lacked respect for professional planning input; it warns against the use of transit systems that have high levels of patented technologies; it calls for courage in government to conduct a complete review of the mass transit plans for other cities in Taiwan; and it calls for reflection on the role of professional transport planners as it differs from that of a transport academic, analyst or engineer.
