The bus company explains that Mo Cit 2 traffic is not as bad as MB Bank alleges. There are always improvements and solutions to problems.
From that dramatic case Bank MP, Mr. Subanath Minchainan, Bangkok, District 9 (Satuchak-Bang Ken-Luk Si), MP for the Progressive Party. Coming to release about the condition of Mo Chit 2, he revealed 14 problems like dark, deserted, no seats, ghost tickets, bad toilets, bad road signs and pointed out that “so far the government has not been able to provide basic security”. caused a storm of criticism.
Recently today (29 Dec 2023), Transport Company Limited (BKS) elaborated on the matter as follows:
1) Allegations against infrastructure like broken escalators and out of service lifts. First aid room closed Closed nursing room Broken fire extinguisher No cooling room on stage.
The company has been managing the Mo Cit 2 Bus Terminal by leasing land from the Railways for 26 years. Safety for Passengers The passenger reception building and grounds are old but are being upgraded to ensure safety. The company had to shut down the escalator, which had been installed for 26 years, due to the company's budget being unable to find spare parts. And even if it can be opened during the festival, it will be closed because it poses a danger to people. In the event of an overflow of the stage building during the festival
We ensure that it can be used at every stage in the passenger building, such as elevators and utility systems such as fire points and air conditioning. FIRST AID ROOM The company's lactation room is always open for service. Notify room staff. Because if it's always open, it could be a secret place to commit a crime.
For the abandoned area it is a commercial area outside the building and a service area. It was originally a connection point for BMTA's Bus Zone 8, but there were no tenants in the past 2020-2023, so the company closed that area. The Transpodation Hub is under consideration for development as per the government's policy of creating seamless connectivity by demolishing all the buildings and making it ready for development. Development plan and prototype to be completed in 1 year
2) Allegations related to service passenger connection
The company confirms that throughout the past service period people can connect to Mo Cit 2 through several public bus routes. The country has a policy of consolidating and consolidating transport systems even at the time of government administration, so the company is integrated with the State Railways of Thailand. It is now operational from December 15, 2023 at Bangkok Abiwat Central Station to provide inbound passengers with a single drop-off point. There are many people who are using the current connection services.
In addition, the company has coordinated with the Bangkok Mass Transit Authority, or BMTA, in arranging for BMTA vehicles to park at the platform area. Within the station area, there are 12 lines which have started trial service throughout December 2023. Up to 77,000 people use the service and the number of lines will be increased. On the way people travel
The company has sent a letter to the Royal Thai Police to crack down on influential people, illegal taxi drivers and illegal motorbikes. Also the relevant agencies have taken action to arrest the intruder. Those who break the law every day, however, must take strict action against those who commit crimes. And will definitely pursue criminal cases in every case.
The Company wishes to inform that the Government and the Ministry of Transport are concerned about the Company. It has suffered losses in the last 3 years due to the decline in popularity of inter-city public transport. As well as facing problems in epidemic conditions 3 years in a row until loss causes problems
However, during the service period in 2023, the company was able to restore its financial position to a better level. By increasing revenue and reducing costs, it will be about 1,000 million baht more than in 2022, but the company currently has no debt. Infrastructure, buildings, sites and facilities are ready to be developed and improved as per the policies of the Government and Ministry of Transport. I would like to accept feedback from all parties in order to improve the quality of service and improve the quality of service quickly. To the satisfaction of all parties should continue.
