snoop1130 Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Leaving window open on BTS trains unfeasible By The Nation The Bangkok Mass Transit System (BTS) announced on Thursday (May 28) that leaving a window open in its trains is not feasible, because it will only let the hot air in and overwork the air-conditioning system. It had initially been suggested that a window be left open in all BTS trains to circulate air in order to curb the spread of Covid-19. However, an experiment found that leaving a window open did not help with the ventilation and instead created heat within the train carriages. Officials said that enough air is circulated when the train doors open to pick up or drop off passengers and rides between stations take no more than two or three minutes. They also said that leaving a window open will inconvenience passengers now that the rainy season has arrived.

Well , would you believe it. I mean, who would possibly have thought that ! I was thinking of opening all the doors and windows to our house to improve ventilation while our solitary air condition is on. I've learnt something today. Thank you BTS and thank you Thailand for sharing the results of your findings. Great guys one and all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Srikcir Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 Turn off AC and open windows. This isn't about comfort but about spread of a highly airborne disease. Rain is more an issue on BTS when train slows and stops, ie., at stations where rain typically soaks waiting passengers on platform anyways. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phkauf Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 I will save these knuckleheads the trouble: when the Navy buys those submarines, can't open the windows on them either. The level of sheer stupidity at the government is astonishing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a hair brain idea and even worse to suggest. Interesting they didn't 'credit' anyone with the suggestion. (Did it come from a reporter, maybe?)

I seriously think the suggestion came from a reporter, which is why no one is tagged. The article was probably written to try and throw shade on the government.
