The Bangkok Mass Transit System Public Company (BTSC) plans to start charging fares for the Green Line extensions (Mor Chit-Khu Khot and Bearing-Kheha) by late December or January.
The new fare for the extensions is expected to be Bt15, capping the total Green Line route fare at 62 baht.
Fare collection was previously delayed due to legal technicalities, as some stations fell outside the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration's (BMA) jurisdiction; the BMA currently owes BTSC over 50 billion baht.
Separately, the new Pink Line train service is set for trial runs by the end of this month, with a maximum fare of 20 baht anticipated within two years.
