Chiang Mai to have mass transit system after long delay.
(From Thai Press Reports)
Section: General News - The dream of an effective mass transportation system in Chiang Mai is coming closer to realisation as mayor Boonlert Buranuprakorn has announced that 26 buses will be running on a trial basis along three main routes in the city from May 1, The Nation reports.
The bus service is expected to be in full operation by May 16, when many schools open to serve teachers and students who commute and to help ease traffic congestion.
The government allocated Bt62 million for the purchase of the buses, which have a seating capacity of 32, as well as two maintenance-service vehicles and a route-checking bus, said Boonlert.
The funding was allocated specifically to improve the city's transportation system, which will develop along side Chiang Mai's growing role as an area aviation hub, he added.
The three main routes for the trial service are Nong Prateep intersection to the foot of Doi Suthep (17 kilometres), Nong Hoi intersection to the 7th Infantry in Mae Rim (12km), and Chiang Mai railway station to Huay Kaew Road (13km).
The routes have been established for some time, with yellow buses having plied them more than 10 years ago.
