tracker1 Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 If you have ever just stood on those overhead pedestrian xing to the sky trains and watched the traffic in Bangkok pass under then you can see why the roofs of the buses leak rust, damage and the patch work repairs are quite amazing !

impulse Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Oooh, oooh, I know where they can find a bunch of brand new buses. If only the different departments would play nice. Why one government department doesn't get a waiver on import duties to save the taxpayers (their own) money is beyond me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may be a coincidence but I lately see a lot of identical brand new buses in Pattaya, which are use by a single company who took over from the company who had +2100 buses confiscated. And they also seem to be above the law, as from their driving speeds on the highway, it is obvious that they don't have the now mandatory speed limiter installed.
