Governor vows to fix Green Line messThe Green LineBangkok governor-elect Chadchart Sittipunt on Thursday vowed to find a solution to problems surrounding the long-lasting dispute over the city's Green Line electric rail system. During a TV interview, Mr Chadchart said he would look into the concessions for operating the Green Line's extensions, focussing on when the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) received debts incurred through the construction of the Green Line and its extensions from the government. He said he will also investigate how the contract to operate the service was signed and how negotiations were conducted and concluded. Mr Chadchart said he was wondering if the transfer of Green Line debts to the BMA was lawful and approved by Bangkok Council. Mr Chadchart also cast doubt on the contract signed by Krungthep Thanakom Co, a state enterprise under the BMA.
