#TCL. and DLT Inspect CNG-LPG Buses, Urge Operators to Complete Vehicle Inspections by December 2#
On November 21st, 2024, Mr. Jirut Wisalajit, Director-General of the Department of Land Transport (DLT), and Mr. Attawit Rakchamroon, Acting President of Transport Co., Ltd. (TCL.), conducted an inspection at the Bangkok Bus Terminal (Chatuchak), also known as Mo Chit 2. This initiative follows the DLT’s directive requiring all operators of public buses using Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) or Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) as fuel to have their engines and safety equipment inspected and certified by November 30, 2024.
Key Directives:
- TCL. will notify and follow up with partner bus operators using CNG and LPG fuel to ensure compliance.
- The deadline for completing the vehicle inspections is extended to December 2, 2024.
- Failure to comply will result in legal action in accordance with transport regulations.
Additional Discussions:
The meeting also addressed plans to deploy non-scheduled buses (Type 30) to operate during the New Year travel season, ensuring sufficient transport capacity for the public and tourists. This aligns with the policy of Mr. Sutthipong Piyachoti, Deputy Minister of Transport, to:
- Enhance safety and passenger confidence in public transportation.
- Meet the increased travel demand during peak holiday periods.
TCL. and DLT remain committed to monitoring compliance, ensuring safe and efficient bus operations, and delivering reliable public transportation services.
