The Transport Ministry has given permission for the State Railway of Thailand (SRT) to continue with its controversial plan to procure seven new trains for the Airport Rail Link.
Transport Minister Arkhom Termpittayapaisith said Monday the purchase was a matter of urgency.
"There is no reason to wait any longer. The SRT can go ahead with the purchase plan. We have to cater to the increasing number of commuters," he said.
