misschien is het opgevallen dat er sedert kort speciaal ingerichte stopplaatsen zijn voor bahtbussen
deze plaatsen zijn opvallend door de trottoirbanden geel wit en een groot rood vlak op de weg
een prima idee en minder hinder voor het achterop komend verkeer en een betere doorstroming van het verkeer,
helaas echter de zoveelste mislukking , daar ik vrijwel dagelijks naar het strand ga en dus zie dat er zich geen enkele
baht bus zich daar aan houdt ,er wordt gestopt waar men denkt een klant op te kunnen pikken en de concurentie
onderling is nog altijd hetzelfde ,elkaar inhalen en op de eerste en tweede rijbaan plots op de rem trappen als men
een klant vermoed om in te stappen,
On Wednesday the Governor of Chonburi Province, officially opened 17 dedicated pick-up and drop-off zones for Baht Buses along Pattaya Beach, which has been done to reduce traffic congestion along the Beach Road. In a colorful and melodic ceremony, which included a Marching Band, long speeches and the ceremonial cutting of a ribbon, 17 new parking areas for Baht Buses were opened, which culminated in a demonstration of how a Baht Bus is expected to conduct itself in the future. For many years the Baht Buses, which currently number 712, have been able to park where they want, regardless of any parking restrictions. Police have been seen to issue parking tickets to the Baht Bus Drivers but overall the influential Baht Bus Cooperative members have been able to stop where they want. The Governor claims this is about to change and any Baht Bus who stops outside of a parking area will be fined and clamped which the Governor hopes will alleviate the traffic jams at peak times on Pattaya Beach Road. Many are skeptical and believe the zones will largely be ignored by the drivers who are unlikely to ignore tourists who flag them down, especially those who need transportation off of the main routes which normally commands a higher fee than the standard 10 or 20 Baht you would pay if the Baht Bus is running along a designated route. - See more at: [www.pattayaone.net]
