The meeting, chaired by Deputy Prime Minister Prawit Wongsuwon, agreed to relocate interprovincial vans from the current hub, Victory Monument, to three established bus terminals - Mo Chit 2 Bus Terminal, the Southern Bus Terminal, and the Ekkamai Bus Terminal - from Oct 25. Passenger vans going to the North, the Northeast and Central Plains will be based at Mor Chit 2 Bus Terminal on Kamphaeng Phet Road; vans going to the South, and the West will leave from the Southern Bus Terminal in Pinklao area; vans heading to the East will depart from Ekkamai Bus Terminal on Sukhumvit Road, she said. During the first six months, free shuttlebus services will be provided for passengers from Victory Monument to the three bus terminals.
