Back to business ! While the people get entertained with temporary tax cuts on diesel, fakes goodies, and other prices controls policy Zimbabwe style… the inflation tsunami is building up. Quietly.
Private bus services in metropolitan Bangkok are now allowed to raise their fares immediately after having been denied the opportunity to participate in fare hikes suspended for several months.
The Supreme Administrative Court on Friday lifted an injunction by the Central Administrative Court which had suspended fare hikes by private bus operators.
With the issuance of the order, Private Bus Development Association president Chatchai Chaiviset said bus operators are allowed to instantly raise the bus fares as proposed in May.
Effective on September 1, fares charged by private air-conditioned buses will rise by one baht in the set trip distance rate.
The fares collected by buses, minibuses, and passenger pickup trucks will rise to 10, 8, and 7.50 baht from the 8.50, 7, and 6.50 baht charged earlier. (TNA)

Well, the TIME is a potential KILLER
… some famous people used to say
Could someone from any side call for an over-haul of private bus contract? PPP government and Dem should share the blame for this.
