pdogg Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Traffic police will also ensure that picking up of passengers does not create traffic jams in the area.FROM MONDAY onwards, public-transport vans and taxis will no longer be allowed to wait for customers at the Bangkok Victory Monument traffic circle and vans will only be allowed to wait under the Makkasan Airport Link Station.Traffic police will coordinate with the vans to ensure they do not congest traffic when picking up passengers, according to a conclusion drawn yesterday at a meeting on the implementation of the National Council for Peace and Order's policy to discipline public-transport operators in the area. Colonel Chalermpol Srisawat, deputy chief of the King's Guard, 2nd Cavalry Division, said the measures would be implemented in three phases. He was presiding over the two-hour meeting with police and 20 representatives of van operators. The first five-day phase, starting on Monday, will focus on getting the vans to pick up passengers in the Airport Link station area and other public spaces. It will also ensure that passengers are charged a fair fare, that ticket-selling booths do not block traffic, and that no cabs or vans stop to wait for passengers at the traffic circle. http://www.nationmultimedia.com/national/Cabs-vans-to-be-reorganised-at-Victory-Monument-30236515.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lance2546 Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Sounds good in theory but I can't imagine any self respecting Thai driver not double or triple parking to order a life saving dish of Som Tam :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
