Summary
Thailand’s cabinet on Tuesday cleared a plan to introduce one fare and ticketing system across Bangkok’s metro and commuter rail network.
Flat fares of 17 baht to 45 baht would apply regardless of how many lines a passenger uses during a journey, Transport Minister Phiphat Ratchakitprakarn said.
The overhaul targets Bangkok’s fragmented rail system, where transfers now require passengers to navigate separate tickets, fare structures and payment methods.
The move is aimed at making cross-network travel simpler on a rail system long criticized for its lack of integration.
