The Bangkok Mass Transit Authority (BMTA) began installing GPS, Wi-Fi and other equipment on imported buses, but then called off the whole deal. Santi Piyathat, a lawyer representing Bestlin Group, said the company wants the new bidding process to be halted until the legal dispute with the BMTA has been settled. The BMTA revoked the contract to procure 489 NGV buses from Bestlin Group on April 12, claiming the company broke the contract by failing to deliver all buses on schedule. The delivery of the NGV buses was delayed after some of the buses were seized by the Customs Department at Laem Chabang port in a scandal over false tax declarations by the importer, Super Zara Co. Under the contract, Bestlin was required to deliver all 489 buses to the BMTA by Dec 29 last year.
