Bangkok monorail extension approved
5 March 2021Approval has been granted for an extension of Bangkok’s future Pink Line monorail.
The 34·5 km Pink Line from Khrae Rai to Min Buri with 30 stations is now 72% complete, with the first section expected to open this year and the full route in 2022. The trainsets are being supplied by CRRC Puzhen Bombardier Transportation.
The 3 km two-station extension from Si Rat to Muang Thong Thani is expected to follow in 2024 and carry close to 14 000 passengers/day.
The reported 3·37bn baht cost of building the extension is to be financed from a mix of public and private sector sources under a joint investment agreement between Mass Rapid Transit Authority of Thailand and Pink Line concessionaire BSR, a joint venture of BTS Group Holdings, Sino-Thai Engineering & Construction and Ratchaburi Electricity Generation Holding.
