He will submit the proposal to Deputy Transport Minister Sansern Wongchaum. “If this proposal is approved I will set up a working committee to study this proposal in detail.

However their proposal has been delayed as the authorities fear that the increase would affect travellers. “Bus operators right now operate as usual… They should adjust themselves as well in this situation. They should turn to other alternative fuels like gasohol while travellers should also buy monthly tickets to save their money” Silapachai said. Transport Minister Thira Haocharoen noted that the ministry has been concerned with the higher oil prices but to solve the problem it needs to be fair to both business operators and the public.

Los AngelesA: Do some research inside your company; are there precedents you could cite in support of your request? Then prepare a written proposal. Think through all the ways your working from home might benefit the business. Can you work more efficiently? Extend customer-service hours earlier or later? Devote hours to work that would otherwise be spent commuting? Then summarize all these reasons making a business case in your favor. Second anticipate possible objections and figure out solutions. Will you miss staff meetings? Will co-workers have to cover more office tasks in your absence? Is there a risk that an urgent customer need will arise when you’re not around? Explain how you’ll avert or solve those problems. Third set up a way you and your supervisor can evaluate your work-at-home setup; if you lack measurable objectives for your work now is a good time to develop them.
