The Transport Ministry is considering boosting the surcharge for taxis queued at Suvaranabhumi Airport.
Transport Minister Prajin Juntong said the request to increase the surcharge for taxis from Bt50 to Bt100 was being considered. The ministry was also considering whether passengers with a lot of luggage should use larger vehicles as well as pay extra for the baggage.
However, Prajin rejected the drivers’ request not to use meters. The minister also said additional requests not addressed yesterday would be discussed at the next meeting, which has yet to be scheduled.
