The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) has the full authority over the troubled Green Line train project, better known as the BTS system, including the controversial operating concession, fares and debts incurred in the construction of the system, according to Interior Minister Anupong Paochinda.

 

After meeting newly-elected Bangkok Governor Chadchart Sittipunt yesterday (Monday), Gen Anupong said that he is confident that Chadchart will be able to solve problems related to the train system without the need to seek cabinet approval.
