BANGKOK — Starting Sunday, traveling between most stations along the BTS Skytrain system will cost 1 baht less.

 

From Sunday until March 31, 2019, those using Rabbit top-up cards will pay a baht less to zip between stations in the name of “convenience.”

Anyone remember this gem? The BTS agreed that the fare hike at 1st October 2017 would be postponed six months for rabbit card holders. So a 37 baht fare paid on the rabbit card is still being charged at the old fare of 34 baht until this Sunday, which is the end of March, and the last day of the six month exemption. From Monday (1st April) that fare will actually increase to 36 baht. They're trying to make April fools out of us!
