Bangkok's Free Transport Plan Criticized Amid Haze Crisis

Bangkok's government introduced a week of free public transport, costing 140 million baht, to reduce PM2.5 pollution by encouraging residents to switch from private vehicles. The initiative, launched Saturday, saw a 45% rise in electric train usage but has drawn criticism. Critics argue the plan is superficial and unrealistic without guaranteed behavioral changes. Environmental experts suggest funds could be better spent on long-term solutions, like air purifiers for schools. Some blame the government for delayed action despite advance warnings. While the debate continues, Bangkok’s haze crisis persists, highlighting the need for more sustainable strategies.
