:: 10 years ago, “loss” this year, “ticket sales” strong legs … still “loss”
Back in fiscal year 2009, the BMA had the most revenue from bus operations of 7,210 million baht, which came from more than 2,688 million baht in spot Euro II or “orange air-conditioned cars”, accounting for 35% of the total revenue. “Red Bus”, the favorite of the city, earns 1,329 million baht (17%). Up to 11.7 trillion baht!
At that time, what was the cost of the BMA … to this high?
The author would like to enumerate in descending order (preliminary) as follows:
34% of the total cost As salary / benefits 3,979 million baht
20% of the total cost The cost of fuel is 2,362 million baht.
19% of the total cost As interest paid, the Organization is responsible for 2,266 million baht.
If the idea is simple like a general merchant, at least 2009 selling a bus ticket BMTA together, there is still enough money left to pay a little salary …
But when it comes to fiscal year 2019, the authors really want to add more details of the fiscal year 2020. Unfortunately, it hasn’t come out yet …
In the fiscal year 2019, the BMA has total revenues of 7,028 million baht, of which 3,931 million baht is the revenue from the bus ticket sales, while looking at the total expenses of 14,631 million baht, mainly due to the cost of the bus. That carries a burden of 8,669 million baht, of which more than 3,770 million baht in salary and benefits!
Completed in fiscal year 2019, loss of 7,601 million baht, an increase of 23.13% from the previous fiscal year.
From which previously had an average fare of 12.9 million baht per day in fiscal year 2009, it was an average of only 11.3 million baht per day in fiscal year 2019, it was called very serious every year. Alone, selling tickets … just “salary” may not be paid enough.
Plus there are many “creditors” lined up in front of the board Expected if including the fiscal year 2020 amount from 1.2 hundred billion baht Should increase to 1.3 hundred billion baht
But … now that it seems that the recovery plan route Will not be rough enough
:: The hope of the resuscitation plan may not be as fast as expected.
Although the rehabilitation plan It will be fully driven by the Ministry of Transport. But until then … The last month of the year 2020 (Dec.) is still going down a slow path. The time frame has been lost.
Early December 2020 Sak Siam Chidchob, Minister of Transport, revealed that the BMA’s rehabilitation plan was included in the cabinet meeting for more than a month and expected to be considered within December.
Early January 2021 Sak Siam Chidchob, Minister of Transport, also revealed again that fans of the BMA rehabilitation were bounced for further consideration. Expected by this January Will consider the rehabilitation plan As assigned by the Secretary-General of the Cabinet
Of course, when this delay … will get crushed! Like the network of people, bus users have come out to say “The new BMTA rehabilitation plan is too late!”
What is interesting about the new BMA rehabilitation plan?
First digit 30
30 that this is 30 baht, the daily rental fare by the BMA, is estimated from the air-conditioned vehicle fare (blue) with a minimum of 15 baht, when a round-trip ride is 30 baht.
Second number 162
162 that this is the reduction of bus lines to 162 routes is one of the reform of bus routes for both the BMA and the private sector, the BMA said that in order to reduce the overlap of routes. And shorten the running distance As a result, it will increase the service cycle more.
Third number 2,511 + 489
2,511 + 489 that this is the procurement of 2,511 new BMTA vehicles plus 489 original NGV buses, totaling 3,000 vehicles, making it run more than the original rehabilitation plan, an average of 28 vehicles per route.
Fourth number 54
54 These are 54 routes of 1,500 private buses that will be used in service. And use the same fare system as the BMTA
In addition to other detailed numbers It is interesting for example Renting 2,511 electric air-conditioned buses asked why renting BMTA gave the answer that it was much more cost-effective. Not only that, there was also a reduction in the fare collector …
But what is worth noting is the development of business garages such as Bang Khen and Minburi.
:: Build a bus garage Molding income into mixed use
After the law was unlocked, allowing the BMA to do other business. An interesting goal is Bang Khen and Minburi Buses With a total area of 21 rai, divided into 11 rai of Bang Khen oysters and 10 rai of Min Buri
Of course, if you observe a good location Can be called a golden location! Where will the community Where there will be an electric train The market price is not light. Preliminary assessment The market price of the Bang Khen garage is 1,148 million baht while the Minburi market price is 347 million baht.
The rough concept of BMTA is divided into “Garage Bang Khen” developed into a mix-use project. The initial concession period is 30 years, with a total investment of more than 2,494 million baht, and the Minburi Market develops into a market and a store. Estimated investment value of 1,386 million baht
If these two bus garages are successful Other bus garages It may have the possibility to change to a new look as well.
But these will happen once the cabinet has approved the rehabilitation plan, so now we have to continue to hope …
however… In view of people who sometimes take buses I want you to make careful decisions in every angle, especially “price” when everyone is confronted with the COVID-19 crisis.
