Minivan drivers in Minburi in northern Bangkok presented complaints to the Department of Land Transport chief Jirut Wisanjit about illegal vans operating in their area.

 

It concerns routes T15 Minburi to Chatuchak, T39 Minburi to Rangsit and T22 Miniburi to Pak Kret.

 

The drivers said the vans were out of date (more than 10 years old), did not have insurance and were being driven dangerously over the last 3-4 months endangering passengers. 

 

There were incidents of the rogue van drivers cutting in front of the legal drivers' vehicles, they claimed.

 

They were taking their passengers and their income making the bad situation from the pandemic even worse, they said in their complaint as reported by Daily News.

Pretty sure there are enough incidents of legal ones doing it too

Just more turf wars.

DLT?  Don't these disputes normally get settled by both groups engaging in general fisticuffs until one side backs down?
