Motorcycle taxis can be found in almost every street corner in Bangkok with over 100,000 in operation today. Fares are negotiable at about US$1–1.3 per ride, compared to a US$1.2 minimum additional to per kilometre fare of taxi cars (Wechsler, 2008). Finally, the slow progress of the government in providing safe and pleasant facilities for walking as well as public transport service has in great part encouraged people to use private motorcycles and motorcycle taxis (Kodukula, 2006).
