SCN-CHO, a joint venture, is the sole remaining bidder to supply 489 natural gas-powered buses for Bangkok after 10 firms pulled out of the race for the 4.02-billion-baht city bus project. The Bangkok Mass Transit Authority (BMTA) board will be asked to give final approval on Dec 20. This will follow price negotiations between the alliance of the BMTA, energy company Scan Inter Plc (SCN) and public transport supplier Cho Thavee (CHO), BMTA board chairman Nattachat Jarujinda said. The companies will import the buses from Jiangxi Kama Business Bus Co in China, he added. The BMTA is mulling "delaying or revoking" the installation of cash boxes on 2,600 buses due to doubts about their functionality.
