Sudarat's 'integrated' transport soon disintegrated

Re: "'Thai politics is brutal': a political veteran reflects", Politics, October 10.
For someone whose appetite for politics has waned, Sudarat Keyuraphan still sounds remarkably like a politician.
In her words: “I brought three mass transit systems into one ... the subways [sic], the Skytrain and ordinary train routes were not linked. I finished that.”
Well, the systems she once “integrated” have since disintegrated again, with disparate pricing and ticketing policies for each, and a particularly irksome trek from the subway to the airport link at the misnamed Makkasan station.
Perhaps she ought to come back – and do it properly this time.
