Bt15 fare for extra BTS stops
Play
The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) will start collecting a Bt15 flat rate fare for the Skytrain service from On Nut station to Bearing station, Bangkok Governor MR Sukhumbhand Paribatra said yesterday.
Following a meeting of city executives yesterday, the governor said the meeting agreed in principle to the flat rate fare of Bt15 for the five stations from On Nut to Bearing. It will be collected from commuters from May 1.
He said the fare – based on an assessment by Krungthep Thanakhom on the number of passengers during a trial period from September 2011 to February 2012 – was appropriate and should not affect service users much. It was expected the extension would serve 119,600 commuters per day this year.
