What's with the purple vests?


..

Recommended Posts

Out being driven around a couple of days ago, I found myself in the Silom area. Here I noticed moto-cy taxi boys with different colored vests: purple as in the pix and fuschia. They were brand new vests.

 

What's up with that? Are there now different companies running them or is it just a color change cuz the orange is getting tired?

 

Cheers,

SD

I am wearing red today...er poooh!

 

As for the vest wasn't some government body supposed to take over and regulate who got to be a Moto Taxi driver? I did hear something to the effect that the colors would dictate zone, and or change often, to prevent counterfeiting and other corrupt crap...

While I lived on Suk 16 for a year, the local motorcycle pose switchen from brown vest to orange.

When I asked they explained that it was something like a licensing thing previously mentioned by SuaDum. Drivers from other licensed areas are not permited to pick up in their jurisdiction unless a pre-booked client. They can drop off anywhere and "I think" outside of taxi ranks it's fair game as well.
