Stupid idea...

But baht buses stop where ever a tourist holds out his hand - for free!

It is another money maker for the top council. Sooooo bloody stupid as another commented they stop were ever any one puts their hand out. 

The PM is smart enough to see this is a money making scam by the council person who came up with it.

1.4 mill baht, what the hell for.!!!!!!!?!!

While they are at it is it possible to highlight the pedestrian crossings they established a few years back more clearly

you don't even have to put your hand out

I've tried to flag a bus whilst waiting on the bus stop. It want interested. Private hire only.

 

I do notice taxis parking in the bus stop, so I guess it's a good place to go if you wish to hire a taxi.
