New minibus fares set Sawittree Namwiwatsuk Pattaya City will more stringently control new fares charged by baht bus drivers after receiving complaints from users about overcharging. On January 13 at Pattaya City Hall, Deputy Mayor Ronakit Ekasingh gave an interview to the media regarding new minibus fares in the city. The deputy mayor said the 1337 Pattaya City Call Center has received complaints of unfair bus fares. Due to this, the city has requested that the Chonburi Transport Office provide a definitive fare list for minibuses. This is being announced to the public and Pattaya Baht Bus Cooperative will charge their fares accordingly. The minimum minibus fare set by the Chonburi Office for the city is currently 10 baht. But as gas prices continue to drop, a corresponding fare reduction should be considered, the deputy mayor said.If users are charged the wrong fares by the cooperative, they can call the 1337 Pattaya City Call Center to report it. Disciplinary action can then be taken against offending drivers, such as fines and suspension of the driverâ??s licenses.
