Mister MXYZPTLK Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can't even enforce the helmet law because the people can't afford a helmet or pay the fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nong38 Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Looks like another potential revenue stream to me, not mention all those pick ups specially converted to belch out the black stuff and impress others on faecesbook etc. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they still parked up in Malaysia or somewhere? You mean these? They are probably parked in close proximity to the fire engines. But I could be wrong. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
