"Zero deaths on public transport!" That's my New Year target says DLT chief

 

 

Department of Land Transport chief Pheeraphon Thawornsupcharoen has made a bold statement in relation to public transport in Thailand during the New Year holidays. 

 

He has said that his target is zero fatalities. 

 

To do this he will be checking all vehicles and drivers. 

 

There will especially be lots of driver alcohol testing at bus stations and where vehicles park. 

 

Their licenses will all be checked. 

 

He was also determined that not a single passenger will be left stranded. In line with communications' ministry guidelines extra vehicles will be added to routes to ensure no one is left disappointed. 

 

He trumpeted a system called "Smart Bus Terminal" that will monitor arrivals and departures in "real time" utilizing a master control panel at bus stations and help from apps.

Another numpty who's taken a leaf out of Big Joke's playbook. 

Start with the guy who let his kid take the wheel then Ill believe you

I have a bigger chance of growing a healthy, functioning pancreas! 

I am very impressed with his vivid imagination.

After new year, he will make another statement, "I've tried my best but the fatalities keep increasing and I misjudged the drivers' abilities".

 

 

 

 

Completely delusional.

We can only Hope, wish and dream, can we? What will really take place if for time to tell....

 

Public traffic accidents will be replaced by private vehicle accidents, job done

Someone needs to pee in a bottle and then see if it turns a test strip purple.

Thatsb an admirable goal and I hope he is sucessful

There will especially be lots of driver alcohol testing at bus stations and where vehicles park.

What if a driver/co-driver is tested positive for alcohol? His bus will be stopped whilst the company scrambles to find a sober driver thus leaving many passengers stranded. If you have experienced Morchit bus station in Bangkok, I believe it would need an "army" of breath testers for all the drivers.

he does not know...

Ha! Just this morning I was driving in Bangkok and saw a bus slam into the back of a car, ramming it into the rear of a second bus. No fatalities this time but exactly the kind of idiotic, careless, selfish behaviour that does kill.

 

i'll bet all my savings, a thumb, a toe, and a kidney that he won't reach his target.

????‍♂️ because I said so

Didn't read the article. I'm just here for the comments.

Aparently the speeding van driver with the Koreans didn't get the memo....
