BRT service kicks off in September



Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) has come up with thesolution to charge the service of Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) betweenSathorn and Ratchapruek with Bt 10 for the whole route, starting bySeptember 1.

Passenger also could use the refilltype BTS SmartPass card with BRTservice, BMA's deputy governor Teerachon Manomaipiboon said yesterday.

He said there are two types of tickets for BRT that will be availableby September, including one round ticket and refillticket. Onlyrefillticket could be used with BTS service.

However, the Krungthep Thanakom Co Ltd, which will mange BRT, is nowfacing a problem to install the machine that would recall one roundticket from passenger at the gates.

At the preliminary resolution, the company will ask passengers to dropBRT's one round ticket at the box that will be set up at the gate. Butthis resolution will be a financial burden for company if passengersdo not return the ticket.
