SRT free service extended

By The Nation

The State Railway of Thailand on Tuesday received the Cabinet's approval to extend its free economy train service to cover four more routes: Bangkok-Chiang Mai, Bangkok-Ubon Ratchathani, Bangkok-Nong Khai, and Bangkok-Sungai Kolok.

"This will allow passengers not to change trains. This would deplete our monthly revenue by another Bt28 million," said its governor Yuthana Thapcharoen.

The free train service is part of the government's six measures to lower the public's cost of living. While most of the package worth nearly Bt40 billion is used to subsidise gasohol and diesel prices, the government originally expects that it would need to spend Bt250 million to subsidise the economy train service during August and January 2009.
