BMA fast-track road returns to ease city’s traffic congestion

[webfact]

 

The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) issued a call to the Mass Rapid Transit Authority of Thailand (MRTA) for the swift restoration of roads surrounding various MRTA construction sites. This move is aimed at mitigating the escalating traffic congestion in the city.

 

The deputy Bangkok governor, during a recent BMA meeting, revealed that the MRTA has assured the BMA of the planned completion of road returns around the Pink Line mass transit systems by March of the upcoming year.

 

The meeting was centred around seeking solutions to the traffic congestion prevalent along roads close to the mass transit system.

 

The Pink Line, a significant transit link stretching 34.5 kilometres connects Min Buri in Bangkok and Nonthaburi. The route is mapped along Chaeng Watthana Road and Ram Intra Road.

A recent trip to Bangkok on the bus took me 3 hours... slow going after dropping someone at Samut Prakan.... coming back 3 hours again, but this time delays getting onto the Chonburi bypass. Pretty soon we will be back to where we were in the 1990s......
