On October 1, 2024, a tragic double-decker bus accident in Bangkok claimed the lives of several students. The incident highlighted safety concerns about construction flaws, insufficient safety checks, and adapting NGV gas tanks for these buses often manufactured by local companies. Double-decker buses, commonly used for long-distance and affordable travel are often the only option for Thai locals returning home weekly, also by tourism tour operators despite the safety risks associated with these cost-effective but poorly maintained vehicles.
