I hope that the BTS Green Line will begin accepting EMV credit cards when the Pink Line officially opens next month. This is crucial because, if you enter the Pink Line using a credit card (which will be accepted), transfer to the Green Line at Wat Phra Sri Mahathat Station (within the paid area, requiring no tapping out), and then exit the system through the Green Line, you won't be able to do so if the Green Line does not accept EMV credit cards.

@aadarshsavaikar43378 ай бұрын
It’s faster if you instead take the MRT to the bang Sue station and then the Red SRT to Lak Si and then it’s just one station to the government complex, because the monora is slower than the SRT and MRT.
@globaltravelmate8 ай бұрын
Thats not true. To catch the SRT you need to walk quite far to catch the train and you loose time on waiting. Same if you switch to the Pink MRT at Lak Si.

Sir, This is not possible to bring all public train under one system in a short term, since BTS, Monorail yellow and pink line are private own. Blue Line (MRT) is PPP system under BEM, ARL is under Asia Era One(CP) Orange line is under construction will be PPP. chapter. There are only purple. and red line belong to state own

@ratnoinamaew78228 ай бұрын
So many people and its slower I think the pink and yellow monorail is a BIG mistake, in years to come they will be digging the hole again and spending more to make way for a BTS which it should have been in the first place.

@@globaltravelmate Currently yes - the bit that's out is, if I remember correctly, the first 7 stations. (PK01 to PK07). Apparently they were moving a crane and knocked down the conductor rail (which doesn't sound like a big issue - until you find out they didn't knock it down in a little section - they knocked it down for several kilometres - lucky it didn't kill anyone - although it did damage some cars...)
