PHUKET: Following a slew of complaints from local residents about tuk-tuks, taxis and other transport vehicles commandeering public spaces in Phuket Town, Phuket City Traffic Police have clarified that new ‘transport vehicles only’ zones have been set up to allow easier access to popular areas.

It's time for the police to be traded publicly like a commodity or service, look for stock symbol "BiB"

They don't need to, with their massive revenue streams, they are doing very nicely without listing.
