BKK Governor orders BMA to study on whether increase in BTS ticket price can be suspended

BANGKOK: -- Bangkok Governor Apirak Kosayodhin (อภิรักษ์ โกษะโยธิน) has instructed the Bangkok Administration Administration (BMA) to study on whether BMA can suspend the increase in prices of BTS tickets or not.

After discussing with the Bangkok Transit System Company (BTSC) executives on the BTS pricing adjustment, he said that the conclusion of the matter has yet been issued although BTSC has explained its reason for the increase. BTSC further added that the increase in fares will benefit its debt structure, pay off implementing fee, and new tickets which can used for transit services. BTSC has been ordered to gather details and study the effect of the increase in prices of BTS tickets.

In the meantime, BMA will consider the details of the contract on whether it can suspend the price adjustment of BTS or not. Mr Apirak said the action for suspending the plan must be taken before December 1st.

The report said that the number of BTS customers is estimated at 400,000 people per day; therefore the increase in the skytrain fare will affect commuters. He has urged officials to find alternative measures to assist people as well.
