Abstract
This research has three objectives including, firstly, to study the roles of
organizations of disabled people on their right to access low-floor buses, secondly, to
study the roles of government agencies in the provision of low-floor buses, and lastly,
to suggest recommendations for improving the role of government agencies on the issue
of access to the rights of the disabled people to use general public services. This
research uses qualitative research methods. It includes in- depth interviews with the 6
key informants, analysis of relevant documents, and searching relevant information
from the internet.
The results of the research show that the organizations of disabled people were
trying to support the government to provide low- floor buses through various
movements. While the government agencies, especially the Bangkok Mass Transit
Authority (BMTA), had ignored the needs of disabled people and trying to support the
high- floor buses, which were the traditional buses. These things have occurred
especially in the period of the Yingluck Shinawatra government. However, after the
coup d’ etat in 2014, The Prime Minister General Prayut Chan- ocha demonstrated
attention to the needs of disabled people by supporting low-floor buses. That was the
reason to have many low-floor buses in Bangkok nowadays. As for the suggestions for
government agencies, it is necessary to understand disabled people and their rights in
the dimension of being part of citizenship. They should not create distinction,
differentiation or reinforce public policy discrimination against disabled people.
