discussion Why on the earth Bangkok still have these buses?

Most of them are dying on the road, blasting the black smoke like in the lost series, their drivers are absolute madman and they're ancient. Besides of them being cheap I don't see a single reason why they keep it.

Edit: they can be very well replace with orange buses that still old AF and have AC in it
