PTT President Pailin Chuchottaworn noted that due to the order, the working hours of those stations have been cut down.
From yesterday, the stations closed at 10pm. Some stations normally operate 24 hours a day.
According to Pailin, the instruction followed the realisation that the reduced working hours could affect motorists. Meanwhile, PTT is also asking for the NPOMC's relaxation for the transport of fuel and gas during the curfew period, to ensure the sufficient supply particularly to key customers like hospitals and airports.
Meanwhile, as the last NGV transport bus will leave the Mother station at 7pm so that employees can reach home before the curfew period, this may affect some gas stations which are not located along pipelines.
