Slightly over 1mb has just failed. It was a simple jpg. Under a mb still loading. Used the attach method and drag method.

Was reading today that the mono rail lines are at about 11-13 baht per passenger break even costs.

Why are the other lines so much more expensive to run?

Let's do some back of an envelope math:

According to Wiki here a Thai news article put 2019 Purple Line figures at 70,000 people per day. Now, the Purple line has only got busier - much busier since 2019. Cheaper fare will increase that number, too. 14 baht was the previous cost for a single station trip.  But let's stay at 70,000 rides.

Let's assume 18 baht per passenger and we have 70,000 * 18 = 1,260,000 per day which is very close to the total figure of revenue per day for red and purple lines combined.

1,260,000/16 hours per day mean = 78,750. Even if there was a 50% jump in patronage due to the 20 baht price, you are still short.

(8,700,000 baht / 16 hours of usage per day)/2 lines = 271,875 baht per hour per line.

with revenue at

271,875 / 18 baht = 15,104 passengers and hour. To get a break even according to the report with 2019's patronage you are looking at 271,875/(70,000/16) = 62.15 baht average trip cost break even.

At 105,000 pax per day you are looking at 41.43 baht average per passenger.

Get more of the old red buses off the roads helps with pollution and better welfare for all citizens. Invest in less higher spec buses and get more people onto the mass transit systems. More capital expenditure for more rolling stock and meet in the middle at capped 30 baht. Let the MRT run with 16% margins and cap it.

Win win. I would like to understand the total gate numbers and the timing of them as well as total runs per day in each direction of each line.
 

Just saw this. Glad you are on the mend. Did you choose to get a plate in your collarbone or are you going to just let nature take its course?

If you are having trouble sleeping with the cracked ribs, sleeping in an armchair might bring s bit more relief.

All the best with the recovery and mopping up the aftermath of the person that hit you.

I have a 3m x 2m rug that I would like to have cleaned. Is there a service in Nonthaburi or north side BKK that cleans rugs and picks up from a condo?

New front hoop and HH scintered pads installed on the V Strom. Also, gave the brakes and ABS system a good bleed.

Price more like 1K.

 

The key thing is to find a shop that knows what they are doing.

Yes, a set up on a true horizontal plane and a skim is nothing for a well kitted engineering shop. I'd guess 1k wouldn't be far off the mark.

That is terrible news, Kelboy. Didn't know KWASAKI personally but read plenty of his posts. May he rest well.

Have you got someone around you you can talk with?

They need to charge for excess fat

What about excess muscle?

There is a semi flexible tool to assist with blocked drains. I know them as Drain Snakes. That should be used if access from below is not possible. If access is possible there should be direct access to the P trap as you mentioned. From what I have seen in most condos that I've visited in Thailand, there is usually a simple suspended / dropped ceiling in the wet areas to allow access to the drainage / plumbing for the unit above.

Good luck with the fix.

Can't with a repairer.

Inside the case, look for a zip in the lining. That should give access to the handle mechanism. There is not much too then. I would spray a little lube on the stanchions and see if you can get movement.

As others have mentioned, contact Justristic Person at the condo and ask for preferred supplier. In the meantime, you may like to get an unlimited data for 7 days holiday SIM or set it up on your main SIM.

I'd cancel with True if they are not the preferred supplier. Just do it with a smile explain that you can't wait any more and all should be good.

More nonsense. I said Tesla had been sold off. Last 2 years bear market. I dont care 10 years ago.

 

Sad there are so many that can't read and are just trying to score points. Wake up to yourself.

Oh, I read okay. And just pointed out your incorrect and ironic use of "cherry picked".

And I also gave you some very valid reasons for the sell off. reasons far removed from EVs in general. But you simply ignored that. Cherry picked again.

Cherry picking nonsense. Its tanked 37% from the high price 2 years ago.

 

Bitcoin far exceeds it over 10 years.

Do you even understand what cherry picking term refers to? Oxford discribes it as:

Rode in an EV yesterday. Lost 40% of its charge from a 1.5 hour drive.

I wish my 400 small block got that sort of range.

Didn't know they mined Lithium in the USA.

New lithium mine in Belgium from European Minerals is about to float on the NASDAQ with an American SPAC to form critical metals. BMW have already signed an agreement for supply.

But to answer your question specifically. There is Lithium mining in the US right now. https://www.lithiumamericas.com/usa/thacker-pass/

There are many other factors playing into stability like rake & trail, wheel size, wheel base, center of gravity, weight, suspension stiffness, tire pressure... probably a dozen more. Handlebar width is a lesser factor. Would have to compare back to back to get an idea what might be the biggest factors.

Agree with this, the other thing that I tend to see on smaller capacity two wheelers is the offset difference to assist with countering short wheelbase and twitchy rake.

Correct, I was notified in advance before I went to the airport.  

Take that notification and the rebooking info with you and give it to Immigration. I am sure they will let you through. I was allowed through in similar circumstances albeit about 10 years ago. Speak with courtesy and rationally and slightly repentant and you will probably be okay without having to pay a fine.

I would also call the airline and ask them how you should deal with the overstay.

Have replaced a battery in a Xiaomi phone but not from the OEM supplier. worked fine. Just buy the battery from a reputable seller and then check specs with an app like Ampere.

I have an underscreen finger scanner and there was no issue.

Bias? Latest news: Mark Meadows FOLDS on the stand in Georgia and implicates Trump. 

Seems he hung himself.

 

I'm wondering if he deliberately opened himself up in the way he did to give the prosecution ammo. He has done so without being a "snitch". Maybe this is the first step in a long game strategy of becoming a witness for the prosecution. Because he has done noone on the defense any favours with his time on the stand.
