The Phuket Provincial Administrative Organisation (PPAO) confirmed the allocation of 156 million baht (US$4.7 million) from this year’s budget for the purchase of 24 electric vehicle (EV) buses. These air-conditioned buses, each with a capacity of 21 seats, are set to serve three public routes across the province.

 

The announcement was made during a Phuket Provincial Land Traffic Subcommittee meeting, presided over by Vice Governor Amnuay Pinsuwan. The meeting saw the participation of Phuket City Deputy Mayor Prasit Sinsaowapak and leaders from various government organisations.

 

The budget allocation for the EV buses will be drawn from the 2023 fiscal year, which commences on October 1, as per the official report of the meeting. These buses will operate on three specific routes: Saphan Hin to Central Phuket shopping mall, Chalong Pier to SuperCheap in Ratsada, and Ratsada Pier to The Mall Phuket.
