That's a nice gesture. My concern would be the boat service. I have seen drivers, they are not , drinking whiskey on a weekday, never mind new year. If the airport link and BTS put more carriages on, in the evenings, then I would say what a jolly good idea and well done.

Note that it is currently the BTS and BRT which will be free.

 

The MRT and ARL are under the control of national government agencies, it will need an instruction from there if they are to be free too.
