Sudden decision to change criteria for Thai MRT bid infuriates BTS


BANGKOK (The Nation/ANN): The Bangkok Mass Transit System (BTS) is threatening to go to court after Mass Rapid Transit Authority (MRTA) changed its evaluation criteria for bids on the MRT Orange Line.

Surapong Laoha-Unya, chief executive officer of BTS, one of the bidders for the MRT Orange Line which runs from Bang Khun Non to Min Buri, said MRTA’s recent decision to change the bidding criteria is unfair because the change was announced after bidding papers were sold to bidders.
