The State Railway of Thailand (SRT) has reopened train services to certain destinations from Bangkok from Tuesday (April 28) after most services were suspended due to the Covid-19 crisis.

 

SRT governor Nirut Maneephan said some services between Bangkok and nearby areas currently running are too overcrowded and not in line with the government’s social-distancing measures.

This is why, he said, SRT has decided to reopen some more routes to support travellers.

Train Nos 379 and 380: Bangkok-Hua Takhe-Bangkok

Bare skin contact with benches and chairs can help spread the virus if not repeatedly sterilized. But see picture of 2 sitying people in train area. Furthermore, clothing of next sitting person can pick up the virus and carry it onto the train carriage seats.

Unless there are train employees constantly monitoring sitting wait areas for sterilization for potential viral contamination by personal contact, it might be more effective to remove all seating.

Social distancing is not the full solution to public safety.
