On April 16th, 2024, Mr. Atthawit Rakchamroon, the acting director and president of Transport Company Ltd., publicly revealed a massive number of citizens traveling back to Bangkok after Songkran from April 15th to 17th.
According to passenger log information on April 15th, more than 99,995 individuals traveled round trip via public buses and vans with more than 6,689 trips in total
Atthawit further added that he issued an order following the Ministry of Transport policy to station masters of the Transport Company across Thailand to facilitate travelers with comfort, convenience, safety, and convergence.
To meet the demand for the use of public transportation to Bangkok, additional buses and vans were prepared, and all vehicles and drivers were inspected before providing their services, according to Atthawit.
For inbound travel, the Transport Company buses would stop at Krung Thep Aphiwat Central Terminal first before heading to the Bangkok Bus Terminal as a final destination. Both terminals were intermodal transportation hubs that connected trains, MRT, BTS, and other outbound public transportation routes, stated Atthawit.
However, those who plan to travel to Bangkok from April 22nd to the 24th may choose to purchase E-tickets with a special promotion of 20% off (excluding fees). For more information, please dial the Transport Company call center: 1490.
