What does it take for you to wake up. More dead people, more children burnt to death?

This is the right approach as they will find many faulty buses during inspection, and as I understand the cancellation on school trips will be during the 2 month they have as time to check the total fleet of buses. To even dare to make such comment as you did, shows your lack of empathy and understanding of the situation.

Don’t other customer lives matter too? Yes, another big time gov over reaction from lax enforcement of regulations to let’s shut down only those who died population 

 

and watch…back to business as usual in a month or two when emotions die down…do nothing gov at work….always reactive never proactive

Typical knee jerk reaction from the govt. 

And typical knee jerk reaction from the bus companies, also.

The owner of the bus company was released whilst the driver remains in custody.

Which one has the most money.....any bets?

 

The owner of the bus that caught fire in Pathum Thani has been charged with negligent homicide due to actions contributing to the deaths of others. Additional charges are anticipated, but police from Khu Khot Station have yet to provide specific details.

 

Yesterday, police interrogated two engineers from the Sing Buri Provincial Transport Office for six hours. This included the chief of the vehicle inspection unit, a qualified vehicle inspection engineer, and another experienced engineer. The bus is registered in Sing Buri.

 

As the engineers exited the interrogation room, reporters attempted to inquire about the vehicle inspection of the burned bus; however, both declined to comment, expressing their regrets over the incident before quickly leaving.

 

Panisara (surname withheld), the bus owner, was interrogated for four hours before charges were filed. The owner acknowledged the charges and was subsequently released, while investigations into other potential charges remain ongoing.

 

The 48-year-old driver, who initially fled to Ang Thong, has since surrendered to authorities. Samarn (surname withheld) faces charges of reckless driving resulting in death or injury, failing to provide assistance after the incident, failing to report the incident, and fleeing the scene. He remains in custody as his bail request was denied.

Something that stands in the text you quoted.

Weather we like it or not, diesel vehicles are less likely to catch fire than gas, petrol and electric vehicles...

Agree but as a result of the governments actions these too are part of the no school trips allowed. I might be wrong but doesn't the government directive mean all buses not just the LNG gas ones? If so are they going to carry out inspections on all buses? The answer to this is no. As it stands >200 LNG fueled buses need to be checked daily for the nxt 60 days. Will they also check brakes, steering, tires etc. of these buses? Fair chance as I'm typing this some of the dodgy LNG converted buses are rather rapidly being converted back.
