BANGKOK, 6 November 2013 Transport Co. Ltd. has announced that all of its vehicles have been installed with seat belts to ensure the safety for its passengers. The company also plans to expand the idea into other public transport vehicles across the nation.
Statistics show that at least 40-50% of injuries in accidents occur from not wearing a seat belt. Transport Co. Ltd. has therefore taken the initiative to install seat belts in all of its 854 vehicles currently operating.
Moreover, the Ministry of Transport is in the process of drafting a ministerial regulation that enforces the use of seat belts on every public transport car. The law is expected to be put in place after the cabinet’s consideration, which should be by the end of this year.
