Battered bus seat with mushrooms growing on it finally replacedMushrooms growing on the worn-out seat of a No.82 bus. That seat was on a No.82 bus on the Tha Nam Phra Pradaeng - Phahurat route. The photo came to the attention of the Land Transport Department, and officials visited the No.82 bus depot to check it out on Tuesday. Sarat Sirivech, 43, a bus dispatcher, said he had learned about the bus seat and the mushrooms on it from social media. There was persistent rain over that time and the already worn-out seat might have soaked up the moisture - and mushrooms grew on it.
