Public transport drivers finedAuthorities have stepped up efforts to organise public transport services in a busy Bangkok shopping district after inspectors found multiple violations by drivers. The Department of Land Transport deployed inspection teams between Feb 27 and March 4 to check public transport operations near CentralWorld and Big C Ratchadamri on Ratchadamri Road. Inspectors found 14 drivers violating the law. Offences included six drivers wearing improper uniforms, three failing to submit vehicles for fare-meter inspections, two using vehicles without annual tax payment, one refusing passengers, one installing illegal lighting equipment and one failing to display a driving licence. Officials issued penalties and warnings while reminding drivers to obey regulations, use fare meters and avoid rejecting passengers to maintain Thailand's tourism image.
