Bangkok is one of the only cities in the world where taking a taxi is often cheaper than taking the metro. Bangkok's public transportation network is horrible compared to most other big cities. Try going from Bang Na to the CBD's or airports.

Another broken pledge... 

Looking at this in 2years is about right and I will bet anyone that they will strongly be pushing this .

 

As part of their platform in the next election.

 

The only question is how do they pay for it and is BTS at ,20 baht comparable to the fact that if a person takes a bus from mor chit to on nut.

This is only the start of pushing back or cancelling promises made 

The wallet Digital currency ???? promised to all will go the same way ????

Sure, and reforming the military, increasing minimum wage, guaranteeing graduates 25k pm. Lowering energy costs might go through as a populist measure I guess.

Call me a cynic, but I believe PT got the one and only thing they really cared about -- getting Thaksin back into Thailand, and de facto in charge of the government by proxy.

 

Once that was accomplished, all the campaign puffery for ordinary Thais becomes irrelevant (for PT).
