BTS, subway to run 24 hrs

 

Published on December 23, 2005

 

Bangkok?s Skytrain and subway systems will operate around the clock from New Year?s Eve through New Year?s Day, officials said yesterday.

 

The Energy Ministry has also ordered petrol stations to open 24 hours a day until January 5 to help commuters during the festive period.

 

The subway will offer discount fares on New Year?s Eve. Passengers will be able to travel for Bt10, with children and the elderly paying just Bt5. Subway passengers will also receive a free calendar during the festive period.

 

The Bangkok Transit System (BTS) will extend the validity of all Bt100 one-day passes bought on New Year?s Eve until 6am on New Year?s Day.

 

The BTS will join forces with the Thailand Protestant Churches Coordinating Committee to organise ?Christmas on the BTS Skytrain?, featuring carol singing by students from various Christian schools and churches. Choirs will entertain passengers on trains on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day from 3pm to midnight.
