Khon Kaen Dave Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 zorro 1 Thanx for the info'.i actually thought it might be true,due to the fact that BB fares have been 10b for years.Another ten on top wouldn't have bothered me, because i don't use Pattaya BB's,as i don't live there.

Jingthing Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 topt i dont live in Patts,but i heard that there was going to be a hike on BB fares.I heard no more on the subject,i didnt know if it had been implemented or not.Obviously not.I do,however,think that it was another 'plan' that never reached fruition. It was reported on Thaivisa news but later the military announced it was not happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jingthing Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 thats crazy, cant believe that will last very long. to me, thats one of the busiest roads for expat travel.Very few people do think it's real as far as anything that would persist. Buy they announced it so we get to watch it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jingthing Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 OK. I have noticed a pattern at the intersection of Pattaya Klang and SB. Tonight about 10 waited there and six empty buses passed by my hailing (there wasn't a queue) until one did stop. I've noticed that before at night ... empty buses passing. The only thing I can think of why is that because it's near Klang they're more afraid to stop because more visible to possible enforcers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reenatinnakor Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Should only allow motorcycles anytime and delivery trucks between 9 and 6... That would totally solve the problem. The baht buses are a total nuisance and create the tailbacks. Sent from my LG-H990 using Thaivisa Connect mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If multiple baht busses ride the same route, how do you know which one to jump on? Get on any then get off. That's what we all do. It's only 10baht!

The manic Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Perhaps they can start using the <deleted> police volunteers and spies to entrap guilty bus drivers. This military interference is unwarranted - The SB route developed organically an anathema to the military mindset. The get on get off system is brilliant and sums up the freewheeling style of Pattaya - the new bus stop system does not work and nobody wants it. The unelected authorities are gradually doing real damage to the unique character of Thailand. I'll believe in the good intentions of the military when they start to physically clean up litter and do some real good for the communities they claim to care about.

Proper routes/signs and strict limitation of licenses (no of buses circulating) is the way to go. Designated routes is the way to go, as you said, and that is the way they have gone.

gk10002000 Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Granted the street is busy and has gotten crowded over the years. But if they really are banned, how do they expect people to get from one end to the other? Walk up to second or third road and hop a baht bus there? Sheesh. The baht buses to me always were a cool thing. Cheap, easy, convenient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No wander less and less tourists ... I have to say, I had been to Pattaya and Thailand a dozen times starting in 2004. Loved the place. Was planning to retire or semi retire there. Sure the novelty wore off a bit. But the military coup, the visa changes, the registration forms just keep making it less appealing . Now that I passed 58 1/2 all my retirement accounts are available without penalty and had I been in the same mindset I was 5 years ago, I would already be in Thailand, I instead focused on work and banked and invested more. I will see what this year brings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
