Politics Could Stall Transit Plan

bangkokpost.net — Bangkok's new mass-transit routes could be delayed due to political uncertainties, acknowledged a senior Finance Ministry official. Authorities hope to award construction contracts for two routes by the end of the year: the Red line running from Bang Sue to Rangsit and the Blue line from Bang Sue via Tha Phra and Hua Lamphong to Bang Khae. But political uncertainties and poor market sentiment are almost certain to force a delay. Confidence has nosedived in recent months due to soaring inflation and uncertainties about the stability of the Samak Sundaravej government.
