Rehabilitation plans for transport-affiliated state enterprises include THAI, the Bangkok Mass Transit Authority (BMTA), which operates Bangkok's public buses, and the State Railway of Thailand (SRT), which operates the country's provincial trains. According Mr Pailin, THAI will have to "figure out" how to lower its overall fixed costs in order to succeed with its corporate rehabilitation plans to decrease its accumulated debt. Transport Ministry reports state that for this year, THAI plans to procure 28 more planes to compensate for its discharged aircraft. Meanwhile, the State Enterprise Policy Office, also known as the superboard, rejected rehabilitation plans submitted by THAI and the BMTA last week. The BMTA's rehabilitation plans, submitted last week, included a proposal to introduce a 2-baht fare hike for all of its buses.
