Bangkok Transit Authority to lay off 6,000 bus staff
The state-run Bangkok Mass Transit Authority (BMA) announced Monday that one-third of its staff, or 6,000 people, would be laid off under a restructuring plan aimed at cutting huge losses. The largest ever job cut at the BMA, which employs about 18,000 people to run public buses in Bangkok and the suburbs, comes after the authority posted losses of six billion baht (177 million dollars) last year, its director said.
"Our losses have increased every year, while services have yet to improve," BMA director Pinetr Puapatanakul told AFP. "As fuel prices are going up, we won't be able to survive if we don't do anything to cut costs."
