Bangkok is planning to transferring ownership of the Green Line BTS Skytrain to the central government to streamline rail management, reduce the financial burden and free up funding for other public services. Bangkok Governor Chadchart Sittipunt said yesterday, August 3, that the Cabinet approved the Green Line transfer in principle about two months ago. The governor added that Bangkok Mass Transit System Public Company Limited (BTSC), which operates the Green Line, is not expected to be affected because the operating agreement would remain unchanged. Under the current arrangement, the BMA is entitled to receive all income generated by the Green Line after 2029. Talks are also continuing on how the Green Line will be managed under the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) Act after 2029.
