Government to tighten crackdown on vehicles causing pollution

Recommended Posts

No one is suggesting that they eliminate buses.  We’re suggesting that they permanently retire all the old buses (the big red ones), trucks, cars etc that do not meet today’s emission standards.  Thailand has an excess of big shinny new blue air conditioned buses (manufactured in China) that they kept out of circulation due to an issue with the importer trying to avoid paying the tax.  All of these buses should be in put in service and replace the old buses.  Same goes with the trucks and cars.  I’m sorry that it will cost more money that many Thai’s don’t have BUT it needs to be a requirement not an option.  The gov’t can subside the purchases as part of rebuilding the infrastructure.  Cars, trucks, buses over 15 years old?  Talk about a disaster waiting to happen.  Anyone own a 15 year old mobile phone?

They can't even enforce the helmet law because the people can't afford a helmet or pay the fine
