The government plans to impose a congestion charge of 40-50 baht on motorists who enter inner Bangkok streets to raise money to subsidise a flat 20-baht fare policy for all electric rail lines in Greater Bangkok.
Transport Minister Suriya Jungrungreangkit said the pay-to-drive charge would be similar to the one successfully used in seven cities in Britain, including London, and could be at 40-50 baht in the first five years.
