"The island's transportation network is really convenient and pervasive now and modern people are more independent, too. They can handle this kind of traveling lifestyle," says Lin, who for two years made the north-south commute for his book business. He thinks that many people now think of the whole of Taiwan as their stomping grounds. They move back and forth between north and south freely.
「其實現在島內交通網絡便利又密集，現代人也獨立自主多了，很能適應這種南來北往的生活形式」，當年為了書店生意，也曾經南北通勤了兩年多的林佐振認為，現在很多人都把台灣島當成一個生活圈，可以南北迅速移動，不受侷限。
