The cabinet has approved a common ticketing scheme for Bangkok's electric rail services, setting fares at 17 to 45 baht per trip, depending on distance, Transport Minister Phiphat Ratchakitprakarn said on Tuesday.
Mr Phiphat, a deputy prime minister, said the move was aimed at easing the cost of living for commuters by introducing an integrated fare system covering all lines in the mass-transit rail network.
