Fines for vehicles which use BRT lanes

Nowadays, Thailand has an enormous problem of traffic congestion. Therefore, the government provided the buses which have their own lanes to solve this problem. These buses are called "BRT"(Bus Rapid Transit). Thus, whenever there are new transportation channels, the traffic law is also added undoubtedly. I chose this news because I desire that all commuters to understand and realize about the traffic law.

Since the government launched BRT, there are more than 50 motorists have been fined for using the BRT lanes which would cost about 400 to 1,000 bath without any exception. The police announced to public through various medias that personal vehicles are not allowed to use the BRT lanes because it's infraction to the traffic law. Moreover, those motorists are taking an advantage of other commuters from snatching BRT lanes as well. The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration(BMA) launched a three-month free trial run of first line from Chong Nonsi to the intersection of Ratchadapisek and Ratchaphruek roads. The BMA hopes BRT servicing can encourage people to stop using their own vehicles and bring the success in solving problem of traffic congestion.

I agreed with this news as the announcement would make people know what they should and should not do as
violating the traffic law is the wrong thing and people who do it must be penalized, so I chose this news and I hope it can make people who use the vehicles realize and respect the traffic law along with knowing and comprehending to it.
