BTS and BMCL Integrated Ticketing

**English Noodles** · 19-08-2008, 03:17 PM

BTS and BMCL (the Subway operator) anounced some time ago that they were discussing options for future integrated ticketing. Has there been any updates on this - and what is the projected time for this to be implimented?

Will it ever happen?

It took 40 years to build the new airport. This is a bit easier so maybe in 2028 I estimate.

Prolly never happen as the casual riders use different methods of payment. One is tokens and the other cards. Only the multi-pass use the rfid cards on both systems.

Large costs associated with changing all the entrance/exit toll machines to say nothing about the money changers and token purchase machines.

Unless that is, there are a few million baht to be made by some shyster.

I am sure the shyster quotient is still quite high.

the reasons for different machines it the first place would have had nothing to do with public convienance.

I am sure the scam merchants are working on another system to be deployed onto public buses

Except for the free ride ones. Not much profit to be made there.
