The SUTP Team along with the SUTP Project Director Mr. Manfred Breithaupt, also GTZ Senior Transport Advisor, have met with the Deputy Governor of Bangkok Metropolitan Authority (BMA), Dr. Teerachon Manomaiphibul, on April 27, 2009.

BMA-Apr-09.JPGThe main aim of the meeting was to review and evaluate the cooperation between SUTP and BMA and to discuss potentials for future cooperation. Among the various potential future ventures, bike-taxis, public transport integration and promoting non-motorised transport were identified as crucial needs for transforming Bangkok into a more liveable city and to reduce the car dependence.

A half day training session was also conducted in the afternoon for BMA transport and traffic staff, 30 participants, on the concepts of Sustainable Urban Transport (SUT).
