The Bhumjaithai Party is planning to offer a 40-baht daily public transport pass that would be valid on Bangkok's electric train routes in an effort to make commuting more affordable for the capital's residents, according to the party's election director for Bangkok, Buddhipongse Punnakanta.
He said although the city's electric rail lines were developed to make commuting more affordable, fares for rides along the city's skytrain lines and subway network are out of reach for some residents of Bangkok and its surrounding provinces -- especially when the trip involves more than one rail line.
