Thanks to a friend for telling me, I didn't pay attention to fan or no fan, and looked around to see if price is posted in the bus, or ask collector (the only place where I use 25 and 50 Satang coins, and if don't spend the coins here, they will gather in my wallet). <br /><br />The cuts in the ticket are the number of stop where the passenger boards the bus.

It used to be-at the start of the BMTA-some 37 years ago and for now only on AC-buses, that Stage-fares are charged, this is basically an english invention. Before DE got all those Verkehrsverbuende, some local buscomp also had it, I think the word is teilstreckentarif. Those nrs indicate (should) where you boarded-if tickets are checked by inspectors. No, they cannot be reused. There were a few years when they also did 1-daytickets for 10 bt for the red buses (normal fare then was 3,5), but anyone gave them on when they stopped using itself to others waiting. Now they only do 7day and monthly passes for BMTA only. Also some years ago the BMTA had different tix for IN and OUT-all for to prevent fraude by reselling used tickets by staff.<br />BTW-the previous fare adaption was in fact LOWERing them-from 7 bt to 6,5 and from 9 to 8 for rot ruam.<br />Rot ruam ticketsellers tipically buy those rolls at a discount before they start working-so they have the risk of loosing etc. Some are very ingenious in giving you only 90% of the ticket-so they can sell 11 for 10.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8304897538463565568.post-12686875893517152552015-03-01T15:07:11.453+07:002015-03-01T15:07:11.453+07:00It was 35 Baht for the first kilometer before as w...It was 35 Baht for the first kilometer before as well:<br />http://christianpfc.blogspot.com/2014/08/mocy-and-taxi-price-tables.html<br />and then 2 Baht every 400 m (which adds up to 5 Baht / km).ChristianPFChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14308749125539367002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8304897538463565568.post-37018128930274021932015-03-01T13:49:44.095+07:002015-03-01T13:49:44.095+07:00The most significant part of the taxi price hike, ...The most significant part of the taxi price hike, for short journeys, is that the initial 35 baht is just for 1km, instead of 2km before.Alexnoreply@blogger.com
