The Bus

I just got a latest news that the current Prime Minister made a field test on the new modified electric bus. Unfortunately, that’s not an accessible “low-floor bus” (or non-step bus) we would expect. Seen from the picture, there was “a step” inside the bus and obviously even this non-disabled PM needed to have a stone brick in support to prevent his accidental falling. I think we have all the rights to be doubtful about this bus’s efficiency and accessibility.

Hot update: I’m told that the new buses that would pickup the passenger to and from the train station ARE NOT ACCESSIBLE BUSES!!! To the Governor of Bangkok, the spokesman and the director of the Bureau of Traffic and Transport Bangkok, the government policy is an equality and don’t leave anyone behind that we’re all need to aware of. Please use the the accessible buses as standard on all public transport systems.

25 June 2018 We’re invited to test riding the Khon Khaen Smart Bus which was recently operated in service. Here are few summaries from my experience riding around the city:

I went around Fuji Mt, arrived at the small village far a way for the main city. But I still see the buses with wheelchair sign. This is the one of an amazing 2017 Japan trip for me.
