The e-ticket readers are supposed to work with the common ticketing system designed to link all modes of transport in Bangkok. If the proposal is approved by the board, all the cash machines already installed on buses will be removed, Ms Panida said. The BMTA was waiting for a reply from the Comptroller-General's Department on amending the contract with Cho Thavee Co, which is also contracted to install e-ticket readers on the city bus fleet. Ms Panida said two e-ticket readers were handed over to the BMTA on May 17 and they were working fine so far. The first batch of 100 e-ticket readers were expected to be delivered today.
