The flat fare is applicable to the 12.8 kilometres Bearing-Kheha route in Samut Prakan and the 18.4 kilometres Mo Chit-Saphan Mai-Khu Khot section.

The notice, signed by Bangkok governor Chadchart Sittipunt, also mentions a reduced fare of 10 baht (US$0.29) per trip for students and children utilising Rabbit children cards. Previously, the BMA mentioned capping the fare for the entire Green Line at 62 (US$1.81) baht per trip.
