Bangkok Subway

Bangkok Subway is up and running for the general public.

Just got back from a trip from Bangkok to Phahon Yothin. Lots of people trying it out for the first time. I thought a lot of people would just go back and forth but people were actually using it to get to a destination. About 400 people got off at Phahon Yothin and there were several hundred waiting outside. The train l was on was full but l've been on more crowded Skytrains.

Inside, the train seemed similar to the Skytrain but with more hand grips along the centre of the carriage. The platform set up is similar to Singapore where you wait behind glass doors that only slide open when the train arrives.

As far as l could see, the system was handling the large numbers okay, no sign of anything getting out of hand.
