PHUKET:-- With just 12 days to go until the end of his tenure as Governor of Phuket, Norraphat Plodthong yesterday (Sept 18) said that construction of the Phuket light-rail project was expected to commence in 2020.

 

“Then the whole project will open for service in 2023, approximately,” he said.

 

Joining Governor Norraphat in making the announcement at Phuke Provincial hall was Gardphajon Udomdhammabhakdi Director of Project Development Department at the Mass Rapid Transit Authority of Thailand (MRTA), which has been handed the responsibility for overseeing the B39.4 billion light-rail project.

Just looking at the mock-up I would agree entirely there are obvious safety issues. But I don't hold out much hope the Governor will see them. I suspect the likes of Governor Norraphatare are not the brightest buttons in the drawer. After all they paid for their jobs and titles.

Trams and cars on the same road.....?? 

Works in civilised countries, but with lunatics driving on the road in cars and trucks....destined to fail badly.

Can anyone imagine vehicles stopping when the trams stops for passengers to get on and off......we all know the answer!
