The fund-raising plan was launched on December 8. With the support of all parties, the fund-raising target was successfully reached, and the youth returned to democracy. The rural train is scheduled to leave, and young people only need to pay 113 yuan for the fare. We call on young students from schools across the country to return to their hometowns to cast their precious votes.

The Youth Democracy Return Home Train will send out 31 trains, and the ferry tickets from Kaohsiung to Penghu and the air tickets to Kinmen have been sold. There are nearly 700 seats, and the tickets have been sold out. There are still a few seats on the ferry.

There are 27 stations where you can get on and off the train, and more than 40 colleges and universities.

Young people aged 20 to 35 only need to pay 113 yuan to take a special bus and return to their hometown to vote, so that the economy is no longer a consideration for young people returning home. Fund-raising is still in progress and will end on December 29. We hope that the society The public’s continued support allows the plan to respond to the needs of more young people to return home to vote, allowing young people to cast an important vote for their future. If the funds raised exceed 700,000 yuan, 3 additional routes will be opened, and if the funds raised exceed 800,000 yuan, 10 additional routes will be opened.
