webfact Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Prayut takes delivery of bogeys for new MRT lines By THE NATION Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha took delivery of the bogeys for the new MRT Yellow and Pink lines in a ceremony at Chonburi’s Laem Chabang port on Thursday. The ceremony was also attended by executives from the Transport Ministry as well as representatives of the Northern Bangkok Monorail and Eastern Bangkok Monorail. Prayut said the new lines will offer commuters more choices, and since they run on electricity, they will not add to the Bangkok pollution. The Yellow Line will run from Lat Phrao junction to Samut Prakan’s Samrong area, and the Pink Line will run from Nonthaburi’s Khae Rai area to Minburi in Bangkok. The lines are expected to go into operation by 2022. The 34.5-kilometre long Yellow Line will have 30 stations, while the 30.4km long Pink Line will have 23 stations. In 2017, the Mass Rapid Transit Authority of Thailand signed a joint venture with the Northern Bangkok Monorail for the Pink Line and with Eastern Bangkok Monorail for the Yellow Line.

Tell me where in these jobs you so proudly boast of are Thai's involved? I think his post was sarcastic, and that was exactly his point. Sure would be nice to fill these fancy new trains with Thais on their way to work. Instead, much of my wife's extended family is still out of work or on reduced hours, while for some reason, they keep catching minibuses full of illegal migrant workers, on their way to BKK jobs lined up for them.

Why do you post such rubbish, Are you bored or something? BSR selected Bombardier INNOVIA Monorail 300 rolling stock for the MRT Yellow line.[17] The BSR has announced that they will purchase 28, 4 car sets to operate the MRT Yellow line.[18] These trains will be manufactured at CRRC Puzhen Bombardier Transportation factory in Wuhu, Anhui, China. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yellow_Line_(Bangkok) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
