Minimal fare rise for private bus operators effective from July 4

[snoop1130]

 

Thailand’s Central Land Transport Control Board has decided to allow private bus operators, which provide inter-provincial and inter-district services, to increase their fares by 5 satang/km from July 4th, to ease the burden of the rising cost of diesel.

 

In the meantime, the Board has ordered the state-run Transport Company to freeze their fares for three more months, to ease the burden on passengers.

 

Deputy Transport Permanent Secretary Sorapong Paitoonphong said that the current fares charged by private and state-run bus operators are based on a diesel price of 27 baht/litre, but the price has now increased to 35 baht/litre, raising the costs for bus operators, many of whom have threatened to cease operations or cut their services substantially.
