Thai netizens are demanding that the Bangkok Mass Transit Authority (BMTA) fix the city’s worn-down buses after a video of a sad, worse-for-wear bus with a leaking roof went viral.

Yesterday, netizens shared a Facebook video of a Bangkok bus driving through heavy rain as water drips through a leaking roof onto passengers, reported Mthai.

Netizens shared the video, hoping it would catch the BMTA’s attention. Many users commented their agreement that Bangkok buses are too old and much-needed repairs and replacements are due.
