The opposition Move Forward Party (MFP) on Thursday accused the Mass Rapid Transit Authority of Thailand (MRTA) of organising unfair competition in past bidding to jointly invest with the government in the Orange Line's western expansion project.
MFP list MP Surachet Pravinvongvuth in his capacity as chairman of the House sub-committee studying large-scale infrastructure projects, said he would invite both Bangkok Expressway and Metro Plc (BEM) and Bangkok Mass Transit System Plc (BTSC) in for questioning on Oct 3.
In the past bidding, BEM won over the ITD Group, a joint venture between Italian-Thai Development Plc (ITD) and South Korea's Incheon Transit Corporation, after BTSC unsuccessfully sought a court injunction to suspend the bidding, in which it wasn't taking part.
