HampiK Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 from some places you need a car to drive into bangkok, or at least to a park and ride spot to change to the BTS/MRT!! Additional I see a problem with BTS, if really every car user would use the BTS. Now it's already horrible at some times like 6:30-9:00 for some stations. You have to wait 4-5 trains to be able to go inside (at least pre-COVID). if additional passengers would come it only would make it worse. They should increas the Trains and other public transportation much more, before it's possible for everybody. If you life near a BTS/MRT then yes I agree it's easier to go by public.. but if you have to go by bus and have to change 2-3 times.. that's horrible (maybe less car whould improve the bus ride.. but how can you check this when there is always traffic jam...

Grumpy one Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 I am going to support World Car Free Day. My contribution is to stay home and have a few drinks, whilst my loving wife goes out and joins her fellow crazies on the roads 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
