PHUKET: Phuket City Development Co Ltd (PKCD)’s smart buses, which were meant to be tested in Phuket this month (Nov), will not be tested on the island for at least another month due to some external design alterations, Executive PKCD Director and smart bus project manager Mr Watchara Jaruariyanon confirmed to The Phuket News today (Nov 16).

 

“The smart buses require some additional readjustments.

 

“This will take at least another month. One bus will be brought to Phuket in the month of December to be tested,” said Mr Watchara.
