Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul has pledged to pursue long-term safety measures, including replacing railway crossings with tunnels or elevated routes, following Saturday's fatal collision between a freight train and a public bus at the Makkasan level crossing in Bangkok.
Speaking after visiting survivors at Camillian Hospital on Sunday, Mr Anutin, who also serves as interior minister, said authorities could no longer leave dangerous crossings unaddressed.
