Nästa steg för att höja säkerheten på minibussarna införs denna månad. varje buss skall testas och godkännas enligt en 20-punkts checklista ungefär som vår bilprovning i Sverige
Dessutom skall alla minibussar utrustas med GPS-trackers som rapporterar online till transportmyndigheten hur bussarna körs, viloperioder, etc
Minivans must follow 20 point checklist in new "get tough" regulations
Picture: Thairath
Bangkok: -- Minivan operators will have their vehicles assessed according to a new 20 point checklist, it has been announced.
The news comes after a number of serious accidents involving the vans including one that incinerated 25 people in Chonburi at New Year.
In a move designed to assure the travelling public that something concrete is being done the land transport department has said that from now on the minivans must comply with roadworthiness directives or they won't be able to run , reports Thairath.
In addition all vans must be fitted with GPS Tracking that will be connected back to land department HQ. This will regulate such things as a driver's working hours.
Announcing the measures after a top level meeting of army, police and other officials Chertchai Sanansrisakorn of the land transport department said that the authorities were getting "strict, serious and sure" in the matter of minivans.
The regulations regarding road worthiness and GPS will apply to vans plying routes from Bangkok to the provinces.
The 20 point roadworthiness checklist includes the following, said Thai Rath: brakes, tires, wheels, seat belts, doors, fire extinguishers and escape hammers. These rules will apply from this month.
The authorities want to see serious improvements and more confidence from the public in the lead up to the next big holiday period of Songkran in mid April.
But officials are saying it is not a short term measure but long term.
All minivans must have a functioning GPS Tracking system by March 31st at the latest.

All passenger vehicles must have GPS by year's end says Land Transport Department
Bangkok: -- The Land Transport department is pressing ahead with plans to ensure that all public passenger vehicles of every kind are fitted with GPS by the end of 2017.
Sanit Phromwong of the LTD said yesterday that the plan to fit all minivans with the systems is now being applied to all public vehicles, reported Thai Rath.
In addition GPS will also have to be fitted in large trailers and trucks by the end of 2019.
Sanit said that so far 136,460 public passenger transport vehicles had GPS which represented 30% of the total.
The number of minivans fitted is now at 40% of the total - the deadline for those vehicles is the end of this month.
The project to fit all vehicles starts in earnest on March 25th. All public passenger transport vehicles will be expected to have the
system by the end of the year.
All trailers and trucks over ten wheels being registered as new must fit the system immediately. Old trailers and trucks have until the end of 2019 to comply.
Operators who do not comply will not be able to renew or register their license to operate.

Oj då blir det jobbigt. Det verkar ju vara på det viset många tar sig till och från sitt arbete.
