(Bangkok Post file photo)Living in Bangkok is getting more and more unaffordable for average income earners. That means the highest fare for the BTS lines goes up to 57 baht from the already-expensive 52 baht. As city commuters, we can only swallow our complaints and quietly accept the increase, which makes a BTS trip, already expensive, even more unaffordable. If you are lucky to live and work or study along the BTS line (also MRT line), then your travel expenses will be just below 2,500 baht a month. Maybe it's time for the BMA to start thinking how to make the BTS ticket fare more affordable too, not how to add value to surrounding areas for land developers.
