When waiting for a bus, isn’t it better to know which bus to hop on instead of looking at a nice photo of frozen food?
A new online petition is calling for Bangkok Metropolitan Administration to replace the adverts at all bus stops with a useful bus guide and map.
Even locals need to do research when they take the bus to an unfamiliar area, otherwise, they can only rely on a brief moment to read the sign on a moving bus and decide quickly if they will hop on it.
The new petition, which has collected almost 5,000 signatures, urges the government to create a bilingual bus guide, which seems to be the standard across many big cities, and the most basic thing the government should do when building a bus stop.
Some netizens said the city can still collect advertising fees by letting companies design the map and incorporating their products in it.
Sounds like a good idea? If you want to sign, the petition is available on Change.org.
