Operators behind the air-conditioned public bus No.8, which
has consistently ranked at the bottom for its service, have made
 no improvements despite having drawn the highest number
of complaints in the in the just-ended 2015 fiscal year,
 a source at the Transport Ministry says. The bus line,
operated by a contracted private operator between Kheha
 Rom Klao and Memorial Bridge, received 345 complaints,
or almost one daily, from members of the public in the
 2015 fiscal year (Oct 1, 2014 to Sept 30, 2015), said the source.

The No.8 bus has regularly landed at the bottom of the service

 ladder and in 2013 was voted the worst in Bangkok in the

transport minister's Facebook survey.

The most common complaints received dealt with reckless

 driving, refusing to stop at some bus stops during heavy

 traffic, being impolite to passengers and refusing to take

passengers to their destinations, said the source.

The second on the worst 10 public-private joint bus services

 was the mini bus No.1, operating between Thanon Tok and

Tha Tian, which received a total of 330 complaints during the

 same period, said the source.

 Bus No.122, operating between Huai Khwang and Mor Chit

 bus terminal, came third on the list with 188 complaints.

 The fourth worst in the public-private joint bus service

category was bus No.75, running between Phuttha Bucha

and Hua Lamphong railway station, which drew 170 complaints.

As for bus services operated solely by the Bangkok Mass

Transit Authority (BMTA), the worst performer was bus No.29,

operating between Rangsit and Hua Lamphong railway

 station, which received 60 complaints in the past fiscal year.

 The second worst bus service in this category was the bus

 No.145, operated between Pak Nam and Mor Chit bus terminal,

 which received 35 complaints. Bus No.34, running between

 Rangsit and Hua Lamphong, came third with 33 complaints,

while bus No.26, operated between Min Buri and the Victory

 Monument, came fourth with 30 complaints.

In my viewpoint,as we want public transportation to support

 people and least the private car use to help stop traffic jam in

Bangkok,we must improve the public transportation service

 to be better than this first.

 

Sincerely Yours.
