The Transport Ministry has taken steps to ensure that travellers can use bus terminals and airports across the country normally during the mass anti-government rally in Bangkok this weekend, transport permanent secretary Supoth Sublom said on Wednesday.
He said Transport Minister Sohpon Zarum had issued orders to ensure the operations of major transport hubs, especially Suvarnabhumi and Don Mueang airports, would not be disrupted by the red-shirt protesters."There are four or five measures [in place] and alternative routes have been prepared if the main routes are obstructed," Mr Supoth said.
The transport minister had also assigned security officers to guard state property and ensure people's safety.
Public buses had been told to change their usual routes to avoid the protesters, as they may damage the buses, the permanent secretary said.
Transport Department teams will oversee the orderliness of various roads in the capital, he added.
