All eyes are on the Bhumjaithai Party's next move against a 30-year extension of the Green Line railway concession with the maximum fare set at 65 baht.
Bhumjaithai Party ministers were conspicuously absent from Tuesday's cabinet meeting, which was due to discuss a 30-year extension of the Green Line railway concession with the maximum fare set at 65 baht.
Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha on Tuesday insisted that the proposed extension of the Green Line railway concession must be finalised at the next cabinet meeting.
City Hall is considering three fare structures for electric train rides along the Green Line extension, the revenue from which it plans to use to pay off its debts to the Bangkok Mass Transit System Plc (BTSC) for operating the services.
The city council has suggested the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) collect fares on two extensions of the Sukhumvit Line as a stopgap until the proposed extension of the concession on the main section is finalised.
