Striking video of Uber shot in Bangkok (video)
Uber wants to show the consequences of a car surplus in Asian cities with a striking video. The TV spot was made by a Swedish agency and mostly shot in Bangkok.
The producer of the video used more than 200 extras in the spot. With cardboard boxes that depict cars, the taxi and car sharing platform shows how absurd the car surplus in Bangkok is.
The music is from the Disney movie 'Jungle Book' (the song is called 'Bare Necessities'). With the commercial, Uber hopes to convince consumers to share a car or order a taxi more often.
“We dramatize the traffic situation with the cardboard boxes. We highlight funny, absurd and sometimes annoying situations that we encounter every day on the road,” said Uber Asia marketing director Esh Ponnadurai.
Video Uber recorded in Bangkok
Watch the video here:
However you want to think about Uber, I think they have a point here. It is not for nothing that Sunday is my favorite day in Bangkok, the only day on which you have a good chance of being able to travel normally by taxi without being constantly stuck in traffic jams.
I have thought several times how nice it would be if in cities like Bangkok, there are many in the world, only public transport and taxis were allowed in the center, then the city would just become a lot more livable and the accessibility enormous. increase.
This is of course only possible with huge parking fields on the edge of the large center from where people continue by train, metro, bus or taxi, which will of course all be powered by battery and solar energy in the long term.
Perhaps unthinkable now, but one day it will happen, of course, once the suffocating exhaust fumes can no longer be tolerated and the traffic does not drive faster than 10 meters per hour.
I'm not going to experience it all anymore, but in 50 years, looking back at our time, people will laugh about the "middle ages" of mobility, something like that.
Great video.
By the way, have you been informed about the current situation in Delhi?…
It seems we've gone completely mad.

What I never understood in Bangkok, why don't they have parking spaces at the BTS stations. Now you need to take a taxi to get to the station. Would be so easy
Have you ever paid for parking in Bangkok? Well… parking spaces take up the space of land that is worth a lot of money and that developers have dived into quite some time ago. These then develop projects that can earn money (condo, retail space) and since no Thai is willing to pay (a lot) for parking, a paid parking garage is absolutely not profitable.
I would venture a guess that the parking lot at BTS MoChit would not even be half full if the car owner had to pay 200 or 300 Baht a day there. Now it bulges out every day: frees….
