BKS Ramps Up Bus Service for Long Weekend Holiday

Attawit Lak Jamroon, chief executive of BKS (Bus Transport Company Limited), announced that BKS is inviting the public to travel by public bus during the long weekend holiday in late July 2025 to support domestic economic stimulus through spending on transportation, accommodation, restaurants, and local goods. This helps generate income and distribute money to local entrepreneurs nationwide, in line with government and Transport Ministry policy.

The company is prepared to serve travelers during the continuous holiday period including the King's Birthday (July 28), Asahna Bucha Day, and Buddhist Lent Day between July 25–30, 2025. The operator expects an average of 100,000 passengers daily traveling both directions and has deployed an average of 6,200 bus trips per day—using both company-operated and contract buses—to meet passenger demand and prevent anyone from being left behind.

Safety is a priority. The company has instructed staff and contract operators to conduct strict vehicle inspection protocols, ensuring all buses and safety equipment are checked before service. Drivers must get adequate rest, undergo drug and alcohol testing (zero tolerance), maintain speed limits, and follow traffic laws. On long-distance routes exceeding four hours, two drivers are assigned per bus.

BKS has also deployed staff at all terminals nationwide to facilitate services and ensure passenger safety, while coordinating with relevant agencies for smooth traffic management. The public is urged to plan travel in advance and book tickets ahead of time. Passengers are asked to wear seatbelts throughout their journey for safety and to build confidence in public transportation.
