20-baht fare cap by Oct 1, Suriya says

- POST REPORTERS

The government has made significant progress in amending two key regulations which it hopes will pave the way for the introduction of the 20-baht fare cap across Bangkok's electric rail network, Transport Minister Suriya Jungrungreangkit announced yesterday.

Mr Suriya said the changes to the Mass Rapid Transit Authority of Thailand (MRTA) Act and the Joint Ticketing System Management Act — which will facilitate the establishment of a joint ticketing support fund — will be submitted to the House of Representatives by Aug 7.

Once the amendments are approved by the House, the revised acts will be put up for a public hearing, as required by the law.
