Bangkok Mass Transit System (BTSC) is not ruling out taking part in a new bidding process for the western section of the Orange Line electric train project.
BTSC chief executive Surapong Laoha-Unya said the company was waiting for a formal announcement by the Mass Rapid Transit Authority of Thailand (MRTA), which decided to scrap the current process on Wednesday.
Mr Surapong said BTSC would take part in a renewed selection process if its terms of reference were open and fair.
He added, however, that the company s legal team was also assessing whether any financial damage had been caused by the MRTA s scrapping of the bidding and would consider suing the authority if it found that losses had been incurred.
