BTS optimistic in spite of May setback

After anti-government protesting, BTS is still optimistic about its revenue growth this year. Chairman Keeree Kanjanapas said the company lost about 160 million baht when train must discontinue service. He hopes the government will give a assistance for loss of BTS revenue.

from April 6 to May 23, BTS stop service for a whole day on occasions for a total of eight days. Keeree said right now passenger numbers were over to the ordinary average of 400,000 to 500,000 per day with daily revenue of 10-12 million baht, though foreign passengers remain few. However, the situation is better. This year, BTS would maintain its overall benefit growth goal of 8%. Mr Keeree said the company's two condominiums that is built near BTS station, Abstract Phahonyothin Park and Abstract Sukhumvit, had gotten a great response with presales of 80% and 66%. The company is plan to open these projects next month.


In my opinion, anti-government protesting effect to many things including BTS. BTS is one kind of transportation that everyone prefers to use daily. A result that following is the discomfort of passenger and the revenue of BTS , when BTS stopped service. If it is closed by government, it is quite acceptable. Because it will happened by advising that bring to solving a problem. It depends on condition of security. Nevertheless, it is closed by protesting. I think it is not necessary. It seems to pressuring the government and does not useful.
