词条 | Bus No. 8 |
释义 |
Bus No. 8 is a bus line in Bangkok, Thailand, notorious for reckless driving and atrocious customer service.[1] Riders filed 345 complaints about the poor services of No. 8 buses in 2015, the highest number of BMTA complaints.[2] On average, Bus Line 8 receives about 20 complaints per month.[3] In informal polling, it has been ranked as the worst bus service in Bangkok.[2]{{RP|11}} RouteNo.8 buses follow a 30 kilometre route from Happy Land Market in Bang Kapi District to the Memorial Bridge via Lat Phrao Road, Phahonyothin Road, Victory Monument, Rajavithi Hospital, Lan Luang Road, and the Worachak Road area.[3] OperationThe No. 8 bus line is not operated by the Bangkok Mass Transit Authority (BMTA) directly. The line is operated by several private companies under concessions from the BMTA. No. 8 line bus drivers are not paid a salary, but rather are paid a percentage of each day's receipts. This motivates them to make as many runs during their shifts as possible to earn more money.[3] Incidents
Inclusion in Grand Theft AutoThe No. 8 bus has been created as a game mod for the popular game Grand Theft Auto (GTA). On 30 June 2015, a user uploaded an episode on YouTube which showed the bus running amok on Bangkok streets, speeding and hitting buildings, until a final collision sends the bloodied driver flying from the bus.[9] References1. ^{{cite news |last1=Parpart |first1=Erich |title=Dark enough for you? |url=https://www.bangkokpost.com/opinion/opinion/1524882/dark-enough-for-you- |accessdate=20 August 2018 |work=Bangkok Post |date=20 August 2018 |format=Opinion}} 2. ^{{cite book |last1=Phooriphokhai|first1=Krit |title=Bangkok Bus Service Improvment; A Case Study of Bus Line 8|date=December 2016 |publisher=Thammasat University |location=Bangkok |url=http://ethesisarchive.library.tu.ac.th/thesis/2016/TU_2016_5723040050_5007_3935.pdf |accessdate=22 August 2018 |format=Thesis}} 3. ^1 2 3 {{cite news |last1=Mahitthirook |first1=Amornrat |last2=Fredrickson|first2=Terry|title=Bangkok's fearsome No.8 bus line ordered to improve |url=https://www.bangkokpost.com/learning/advanced/918369/bangkoks-fearsome-no-8-bus-line-ordered-to-improve |accessdate=20 August 2018 |work=Bangkok Post |date=2016-04-01}} 4. ^{{cite news |title=BMTA punishes rival Route 8 bus drivers after fist-fight |url=http://www.nationmultimedia.com/detail/national/30345448 |accessdate=20 August 2018 |work=The Nation |date=2018-05-15}} 5. ^{{cite news |title=Fast & Furious: Bus No. 8 slams into skytrain pillar, 3 injured |url=https://coconuts.co/bangkok/news/fast-furious-bus-no-8-slams-skytrain-pillar-3-injured/ |accessdate=20 August 2018 |work=Coconuts Bangkok |date=2015-06-24}} 6. ^{{cite news |title=เมล์สาย8พุ่งอัด"ตอม่อ" เก๋ง3คันยับ-เจ็บระนาว |url=https://www.dailynews.co.th/crime/330245 |accessdate=20 August 2018 |work=เดลินิวส์ |date=2015-06-23}} 7. ^{{cite news |title=Anything but lucky, Bangkok’s No 8 buses given a “last chance” |url=http://www.nationmultimedia.com/life/Anything-but-%20%20lucky-Bangkoks-No-8-buses-given-a-las-30283095.html |accessdate=22 August 2018 |work=The Nation |date=2016-04-04}} 8. ^1 2 {{cite news |last1=Jitsamruay |first1=Patranit |title=Fast & Furious Bus Line 8: An investigation into poor service |url=https://prachatai.com/english/node/5365 |accessdate=22 August 2018 |work=Pratchatai English |date=2015-08-04}} 9. ^{{cite news |title=Bus No. 8 finds game fame |url=https://www.pressreader.com/thailand/bangkok-post/20150702/281822872456178 |accessdate=20 August 2018 |work=Bangkok Post|via=PressReader|date=2015-07-02}} 1 : Bus transport in Bangkok |
