Pattaya Transportation Cooperative arranged training for baht bus chauffeurs to enhance service offering and lower problems in hopes of offering the often-combative chauffeurs a much better image.
The Feb. 8 class at the co-op’s Naklua Soi 3 head office evaluated guidelines on security and driving and lessons on how to courteously and truthfully serve travelers.
Co-op Vice President Sutarb Sukkojai stated points covered consisted of publishing a rate sheet and path map, not requiring guests out of the back of the baht bus prior to reaching their location, not overcharging guests, not talking lewdly or obscenely, not parking in forbidden zones, not consuming and driving, not utilizing drugs while driving and not driving recklessly.
Fines for breaking any of the sensible guidelines can see chauffeurs fined an optimal 500 baht and suspended for 7 days. Harsher charges occur with duplicated violations.
The conference highlighted that baht bus chauffeurs should well offer services to individuals and not cheat travelers in order to offer Pattaya a much better track record and image.
