Commuters of the BTS Green Line board the skytrain at Khu Khot BTS station. From Feb 16, commuters have to pay more under the new ticket fee price ceiling recently approved by the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration. Apichit Jinakul
The Rail Transport Department on Sunday insisted the BTS skytrain maximum fare ceiling on the Green Line being capped at 158 baht would burden consumers, and planned to discuss the matter with City Hall this week.
Deputy director-general Kittiphan Panchan said the department would send a letter to the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) calling for a suspension to the maximum fare ceiling.
Mr Kittiphan said the cap went against a cabinet resolution on Nov 26, 2020, and the fare would put an unfair burden on skytrain passengers, he said.
