Play
From May 1 onwards, Bangkok Metropolitan Administration will start collecting Bt15 for the 5.2-km ride on the On Nuj-Bearing skytrain extension route.
Since the extension route commenced operations in August 2011, commuters had enjoyed a free ride.
The extra fee will add up BTS fares, which are now Bt15-Bt40, depending on distance.
Surapong Laoha-Unya, director and chief operating officer of Bangkok Mass Transit System Plc - the skytrain operator, said that passengers at the five stations on the extension route - Bang Chak, Punnawithi, Udom Suk, Bang Na, and Bearing - will have to pay additional Bt15.
Accordingly, BS will adjust the price of a one-day pass for unlimited travel and trips in Sukhumvit and Silom Lines, from Bt120 to Bt130.
