A city bus with a newly painted front and a new code number approaches a bus stop in Bangkok. Sniggering netizens expressed wonder at how chronic problems embedded in city bus services could be solved by the wave of a magic wand and a splash of paint. The BMTA launched its month-long test runs of eight new bus routes on Tuesday using new numbers and a colour-coded system. The number of bus routes will also be increased from 202 to 269 to cover more of Greater Bangkok. Unfortunately, public bus services have been given lower priority compared to personal cars.
