Bangkok Adapts 'London Model' for Traffic Congestion Fees
File photo courtesy: Wikimedia The Thai Transport Ministry plans to implement the "London Model" to manage traffic congestion in Bangkok by introducing congestion fees in inner city areas. This move aims to reduce heavy traffic and fund public transport infrastructure. Minister Suriya Jungrungreangkit, also the deputy prime minister, announced on Tuesday that the Office of Transport and Traffic Policy and Planning (OTP) has been tasked with studying successful congestion fee systems from around the world. The study will focus on methods from England, Singapore, Stockholm, and Italy, examining fee rates and collection methods. The ministry anticipates completing the study by 2025. Minister Suriya highlighted that the current law does not allow the government to collect these fees, a responsibility of the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA). Therefore, new legislation may be required to implement this initiative. An initial ministry-run survey on social media indicated that 60% supported the congestion fee concept, though support waned due to a lack of detailed information. The ministry recognizes the need to clarify details, such as the specific areas affected and the exemptions for residents within these zones. While those living in the designated congestion areas will be exempt from fees, funds raised will be directed into an infrastructure fund managed by the Ministry of Finance. Some proceeds will support the government’s goal of reducing electric train fares to 20 baht across all routes. The London Model, bolstered by support from the UK Partnering for Accelerated Climate Transitions (UK PACT) project, utilises Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) technology to manage toll collection, reported Bangkok Post. London’s scheme covers a 21 square km area, charging £15 per day and operates on weekdays and weekends, excluding public holidays. This system has successfully decreased congestion by 16%, noted ministry spokesman Kritchanon Aiyapanya. -- 2024-11-13 -

Top Oxfordshire Prep School to Close Amid Controversial VAT Policy on Private Education
Utter nonsense, just another of your remarkable left wing rants; typical of the loony left and their socialist garbage; rather than encourage everyone to greater achievements and greater aspirations, let’s drag everyone down to the lowest common denominator. A socialist; someone that doesn’t have anything and wants to share it with everyone else. -
