Intended to boost ridership on the City Line during off-peak hours...

BANGKOK, Sept 28 - The Airport Rail Link also known as Suvarnabhumi Airport Rail Link is to start collecting one fare at Bt20 for all routes on Sunday.

SRT Electrified Train (SRTET) Company's public relations manager Aim-atcha Pongpanpanu said the flat-rate fare promotion is the government's policy for Airport Rail Link's City Line, which is usually priced at Bt15-45/journey.

Passengers who only travel one stop will however be charged less at Bt15/journey.

Those carrying a student smart pass originally given a 20-per cent discount and those having a senior smart pass with a 50-per cent discount will still be offered the one-fare privilege.

The promotional price will take effect only from 11am-2pm daily from Sunday through Dec 31 as a thank you for passengers using the service and to encourage more customers to use Airport Link. (MCOT online news)
