Open debate “Government Prayut” will take place February 16-20, one of the must-have highlights is the green line train concession. “Bangkok-Bangkok Find Nakorn” is the owner and has a “Ministry of Interior” directed.
Currently waiting for “Cabinet-Cabinet” to approve a 30-year contract extension for “BTSC-Bangkok Mass Transit System Plc.”, Which negotiated according to the order of Section 44 until the conclusion of the private acceptance of the debt load of 148,716 million baht. Instead of Bangkok in exchange for the main green line concessions and the entire project extension
But still did not reach the back side, “Ministry of Transport” came out to protest, making the meeting on the green line at Big Bangkok – Big Interior I am sure that I will understand. Therefore still left to this day
While “Pol. Maj. Asawin Kwanmuang” Father Mueang Sao Chingcha Forward announcing new fare collection, the rate of 15-104 baht temporarily. While waiting for the cabinet to knock the concession after BTSC made a letter of debt collection, wages and system work over 30,000 million baht within 60 days or within April 1.
After the announcement, there was a period of curse, but “Knight” insisted on collecting money to pay the debt. But finally came to change my mind in the middle of the night on Feb. 8, the past would like to postpone the new fare first. Due to the government’s mission to reduce the burden of people during the COVID-19 outbreak.
From the “knight” attitude that changed one way to reduce the heat, the green line concession knot before “Big Pok – General Anupong Phaochinda” will be crushed on the discussion stage. But one way, there is still doubt.
Scroll to collect 104 baht, think for yourself or have a strong squeeze
On February 10, 2021, Maj. Gen. Asawin revealed that the new fare is deferred from 15-104 baht, which will start collecting on February 16, 2021 because he saw that the public received Suffering from the coronavirus outbreak By General Prayut Chan-o-cha, the Prime Minister did not call to discuss at all
The part where the Prime Minister posted a thank you message this morning. Still don’t know about it But honestly, we empathize with the people And reiterate that no one sue to pressure anything The section will leave the extension to Mo Chit – Saphan Mai – Khu Khot and Bearing – Samut Prakan Housing. Running without collecting fares for a long time or not yet unknown, but initially it should be within 60 days as BTSC filed for debt collection, that is, until April 1, now he prayed for it to end pain, but the governor of the knight agrees. Can be cursed
Originally insisted on keeping it for sure Why did you change your mind?
I have common sense (pointing to the head). I think I have served the highest service. He wouldn’t have set me up. If I don’t think I am a fairly famous policeman in the Royal Thai Police. (OTP) parts are seen as back and forth Actually, it can go back and forth. Like you have someone to flirt with, you accept him. But after seeing this person acting indifferent, he did not accept love, it could go back and forth.
The Bhumjaithai Party filed a lawsuit against the Administrative Court on this issue. Let me tell you that the knights are never afraid of anyone. Going to investigate, then go to investigate, but he is not involved.
The ticket will be cheaper than 65 baht. Can you see the Prime Minister order a new negotiation?
This has to talk about one more round. As for the Prime Minister, he wanted to go back and look at the price structure again that round. Is watching, but the parties will agree or not, another matter Because the main concession on Nut – Mo Chit / Stadium – Taksin expires in 2029, Bangkok is not busy.
But the north and south extension Must accept the fact that no one invests Because it’s not worth it Which private sector dares to apply for a concession Come in, welcome But where do you get the car to run? How many years do you renew the concession? How much will the fare be collected? A. Yes or not. No way, because there is the same company looking at the main line in the middle. Business, if there is no profit, no one will do it.
After the discussion is expected The cabinet will approve the green line concession.
You have to ask Brother Pok – Gen Anupong would be better. Because now holding the issue from the hand of Bangkok General Anupong had previously said Has proposed to the Secretariat of the Prime Minister
Up to now it confirmed that Bangkok is all legal. Not wrong Various processes that Bangkok postpones the fare There is no pressure to cut prices, no, we really do feel like the people themselves.
If the 60 days that BTSC submitted Notis has passed, the Cabinet has not yet approved the concession, what will BMA do?
He will sue, must let him sue, we did not run, but now there is no. Therefore not yet paid But still have time to find a solution together Where to take the money from the desperate need of the Bangkok Council money
Today (10 February) has submitted a request for budget approval from the BMA to pay 8,000-9,000 debts, but the council does not approve. Without giving a reason As for whether or not to negotiate with BTSC or not, it is the duty of the Ministry of Interior. Because this duty is considered out of the hand of Bangkok
That someone said Bangkok has a savings of 50,000 million baht, why not bring it to pay? It will say that the said money, the Governor has no power to withdraw it for himself. Must be proposed to the BMA Council for approval Which, as I have said Today the BMA council does not allow this money to be used.
Therefore, the best choice and the most beneficial to people right now is The extension of the Green Line Metro Concession Agreement with the BTSC, which the BMA Council agreed. While another way is to ask for the government subsidy budget With the reason that BMA does not give.
Someone said that BTSC invested all the main lines 20 years ago, now it’s profitable. The rest have to return to that state. In fact, the government itself has to help Bangkok. Other electric train projects, the state helped out Except for the green line for Bangkok to bear debt, although people say the maximum fare of 65 baht is still expensive. But I confirm that If compared with other lines, average per km, the Green Line is definitely cheaper.
Why Bangkok doesn’t do it by itself after the concession expires
Think whatever, but if the private sector does, it will have a more profitable turnover. If the state does, then everything is ruined, such as the buses of the Bangkok Mass Transit Authority (BMTA). Compared to private companies that do buses like Mrs. Sujinda Cherdchai or Je Kiao, they are already rich. In spite of running the same bus
However, Bangkok does not expect the highest profit. Because he understands that the duty of the state is to provide the administration of public transport to serve the people Which we collect tax from him, must serve the people
But the Green Line train still has a debt burden arising from the train. Even though the BMA council meeting will approve the compensation budget for BTSC to go beyond 3,500-4,000 million baht per year until 2029, you do not forget that there is another interest burden. Which always walks every second
How to negotiate with BTS?
According to the principle of talking with BTSC about the extension of the concession contract, it was agreed that BTSC would bear all the debt. Bangkok then raised him from the chest It’s a sin we haven’t done. Even though he was not the one who made it And being told that Bangkok has an accumulation of 50,000 million baht, not to pay The debt associated with the green line mass transit is 120,000 million baht.
If money is only spent on public services, and other jobs, waste isn’t collected? Floods do not need to dig canals? PM2.5 dust, don’t you need to fix it? Education doesn’t have to go for it, right? The budget for the year 2021 is 75,500 million baht, but it is the budget for various projects. Must be spread out for various aspects of work
Assume that the payment for structural debt is 57,000 million baht in the future. Which will come to hope for water in the front to collect new taxes in the future? There is a lot to do.
I’m not saying that public service is bad. But Bangkok has to take care of many parts, collecting garbage, flooding, PM2.5, COVID, they have to check that, check this, set a checkpoint for 2 months and use 100 people a day every day. The cost of rice and eating is difficult to speak. Not a broken tank. Still hissing (laughs)
Will apply for the BMA governor or not?
Still don’t know why to apply Because now it is the governor Close to the election, when to make decisions Because when the election is announced, there will be another 90 days to decide, and will there be any political party approaching or not? Now, only “rest, sleep”
