TAIPEI: The operator of Taiwan's subway system said Thursday it was seeking compensation for operational losses from a man who killed four people in a stabbing spree last month.
The Taipei Rapid Transit Corporation said it lost around 945,000 passengers in the 10 days following the May 21 attack or an equivalent of Tw$20.61 million ($687,000) in revenue - the damages it sought from Cheng Chieh in a court case filed Wednesday.
