Van taxis call off strike threat
Drivers of 1,700 van taxis serving Suvarnabhumi airport have called off a threat to strike after authorities agreed to cap the number of passengers per cab at four.
Airports of Thailand Plc had been trying to persuade drivers to carry more than four people per car in order to speed up the discharge of visitors from Suvarnabhumi.
In talks held late Thursday, all sides agreed that more than four passengers in a car made it hard to see in the rear-view mirror and that would compromise safety, said Dalad Asaves, deputy director of Suvarnabhumi airport.
