16 Jan ’20 – Mr. Surachet Praweenwongwut MPs list Deputy Secretary General of the Kao Klai Party Give an opinion from that Maj. Gen. Asawin Kwanmuang, Governor of Bangkok It was revealed yesterday (15 Jan 2021) that new fares will be announced as the free fare assignments in the extension are ending on January 15, 2021 and published. “Announcement of Bangkok” regarding “the fare setting for the Green Line Project” dated 15 January 2021, resulting in the new fare being effective from February 16, 2021, with “no duplicate entrance fee collection” And to collect the fare “Along the route, not more than 104 baht” Considering that the requests from the public are somewhat affected by the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration, “change the plan” from 158 baht to 104 baht, or decreased by 54 baht from no entrance charge. There is redundancy between the main part and the extension. However, the price along that route is still too expensive.
“Many people may not yet understand why this is expensive. The real source of the problem is State subsidies are not enough. Because of insufficient investment, that is, when investing too much money for construction is more than necessary, there is less subsidy than it should have been. But wanting to save money to build or waste with other projects, so try to Hot Fix this project by letting Bangkok take the income from the future to fill it like an additional loan. And try to expand the concession for another 30 years, and the remaining 9 years, which has many mistakes arising from the use of special powers under Section 44 appoint their own people to negotiate. And does not comply Joint Venture Act “
Mr. Surachet continued that The House of Representatives had already considered this issue. And the majority commissioner Both from the opposition and the government ‘Do not agree with the expansion of the concession’, but the latest Bangkok still persists to expand the concession By using the results of negotiating negotiations under Section 44 by threatening people that if not expanded, it would be this expensive If willing to expand, it will be reduced to 65 baht throughout the line. This is clearly holding the people hostage.
The key point is that if you are going to expand a concession worth several hundred billion baht like this Negotiations must be made on the basis of normal laws and disclosed in a transparent manner. Moreover, an extension of the concession for another 30 years will result in an integrated solution. With other colored electric train lines and slow bus systems for another 30 years, so even solving the problem of expensive fares in this line Other lines are still a problem. Connecting to other colored lines or bus systems is still a problem these days. Just a simple ‘joint ticket’ is not possible, the “duplicate entrance fee” problem with other colored lines will continue. Not to mention ‘Except for the entrance fee during the mode of travel’ such as taking the bus to the train, etc., which of these points is the peak Gen. Prayut Chan-o-cha must beat the table. Must continue to follow up on how the outcome will eventually come
