    Isn't that called a double "Vee"?     

     

    I don't have a number pad on the lap so have to ask if you're serious about using alt plus the # 87.

     

    Historically the U didn't exist in Latin script, V was substituted. 

     

    And yes on a full keyboard ALT-87 is an uppercase W, alt-119 the lowercase. You can 'hammer out' a lot of characters that way. (0128 = € etc. etc.)

     

    None of this will make busdrivers behave better or anyone in this forum care more :P

    Please allow me to expand on the details of this story. It will explain logically why this situation occurred.

     

    Route 8 is operated on behalf of BMTA by a private company called Sap888 Co. The individual bus crews are paid a percentage of their daily passenger revenue.

     

    Have lots of pax on your designated bus  = lots of pay

     

    Have few pax on your designated bus = pisspoor pay

     

    It's really that simple. Competition for passengers is fierce, but why the company would set crews against each other is baffling. They have a monopoly on the route.

     

    BMTA fined the two drivers 5000 baht each and suspended from driving 7 days. The two female conductors got off with a warning.

     

    It is the only way to get them to stop and actually pick up passengers in the first place.

     

  3. From the link:

     

     

    3)    If you have already overstayed beyond the permitted and do not leave before the order’s enforce date on 20 March 2016, you will be fined 500/day, but not exceeding 20,000 baht and banned from re-entering the Kingdom of Thailand as shown in the details below..

     

    It's quite past 20 March 2016.

  6. All these x Mbps services will have a data transfer limit though, after which they will fall back to 'unusable' speeds (enough to check your email)

    So don't expect to be streaming 24/7 on these things.

    Do check if they are enough for your usage.
