Dear friends,
I'd like to share with you another progress of transportation advocacy
in Thailand. The Bangkok Mass Transit Authority (BMTS) is now ready to
launch its 4 new buses with lift-installed and air-conditioned. As a
pilot project, 2 buses will be put in line#39 (Rangsit-Sanamloung)
between north suburb of Bkk to Grand Palace. Other 2 buses will be put
in line#23 (Nonthaburi-Prapadaeng) between western and eastern suburb of
Bkk.

August 5, 1999 at 09.00 am at BMTA Hq.; Mr.Sonthaya Khunplum Dept.
Minister of Transportation & Communication will preside over the first
launching of service. 100 of PWDs including 30 wheelchair users will
witness the ceremony. You can get update news at www.bangkokpost.net on
August.6.99.

Thank for your support!
