Inter-provincial bus firms 'forced' to axe routes

Operators of inter-provincial buses will reduce or halt services along certain routes due to the increase in the price of diesel fuel, said Pichet Jiamburaset, president of the Thai Bus Business Association.

He said the private operators cannot cope with rising costs linked to the rising fuel price, which has risen from 27 baht per litre in 2017, to 34 baht.

If the services were to continue, they would shoulder about 1,400 baht for fuel among other rising costs, he said.
