Department deputy director Chairat Sa-nguansue said there were two alternatives.

The first was to retain the starting price at Bt35 for the first two kilometres, and increase the fare from Bt4.50 per km to Bt5 for each additional kilometre.

The second option, he said, was to increase the starting price to Bt40 for the first kilometre, and from the second kilometre, the charge would be Bt4.50 per kilometre.
