(Bangkok Post photo)The Bangkok Mass Transit Authority (BMTA) has decided to scrap the contract for the procurement of 489 natural gas for vehicle (NGV) buses awarded to the Bestlin Group following the delayed delivery in connection with the firm's tax avoidance scandal. The BMTA will expedite efforts to call another bidding for 489 NGV buses. Mr Kanis said Bestlin delivered 390 buses to the BMTA earlier this month, and the BMTA had examined and proceeded with the registration of 274 buses. "As the BMTA is preparing a notification letter to cancel the contract, I will like to see what reasons they give," Mr Kanis said. "If the BMTA cancels the contract despite Bestlin having done nothing wrong, a lawsuit may be necessary," Mr Kanis said.
