The City Hall opposes early Green Line concession extension for Bangkok Mass Transit System plc (BTSC) and proposes the government pay for its extension routes or take over the entire system.

Bangkok governor Chadchart Sittipunt said on Tuesday that the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) disagreed with the now-defunct National Council for Peace and Order's past decision to extend the Green Line concession for 30 years from 2029 to 2059 for BTSC.
