Following the start of a pilot program along the Purple and Red lines last year, the government reiterated its commitment to develop the 20-baht straight suffer policy to all electric teach routes throughout the capital on Thursday.
Surapong Piyachote, the lieutenant transport secretary, stated on Thursday that” we hope to expand the program in the future to include other ranges, including the currently under construction Orange Line.”
The level menu coverage is likely to delay the construction of new electronic train routes, according to Pakapong Sirikantaramas, the government of Thailand’s Mass Rapid Transit Authority, as private companies may have to wait longer before recouping their investment in a new series.
According to him, there will need to be additional discussions about suffer structure as well as payment for teach operators who would be impacted by the flat-fare policy.
The Blue, Yellow, Pink, Orange, and Brown lines are examples of lines that operate or may operate under a public-private relationship type.
A Supreme Administrative Court decision regarding a difference between the MRTA and Bangkok Expressway and Metro Plc( BEM ) regarding the joint purchase will determine the fate of the Orange Line.
According to Mr. Surapong, the government has not been formally notified of any other project-related issues, including claims of cooperation in the project’s bidding.
Before a new round of discussions to increase the level fare policy begins, Mr. Pakapong predicted that the Orange Line debate would be resolved in six months.
The commitment to run companies along the Orange Line could then be inked, he said, once the situation has been resolved.
However, according to Mr. Pakapong, the commercial release of the 34. 5 kilometer Pink Line is now scheduled to occur on December 18 with a free trial period scheduled for the following month.
Regarding the 42.72 billion ringgit Brown Line, which may connect Khae Rai and Lam Sali over a distance of 22.2 kilometers, the government recently resubmitted the site’s request to the MRTA.
According to him, the government urged the MRTA to evaluate its proposal for a survive structure in order to make it compatible with the flat-fare policy. The evaluation will take about two weeks.
Earlier in the following year, the government is anticipated to review the project, with a launch bid by the middle. According to him, structure would start in the middle of 2025 with the goal of launching professional service by June 2028.
