Transport Ministry plans to replace Mor Chit 2 bus terminal

The Transport Ministry has a plan to build a new bus terminal to replace Mor Chit 2, which was intended for temporary use, Minister Suriya Juangroongruangkit told parliament on the second day of the 2024 fiscal year budget bill debate.

 

The new terminal will be located on a site which is yet to be determined, where a high-rise building will be constructed, to accommodate buses and offices, connected to the Bang Sue train station or electric train stations either via a tunnel or covered walkway.

 

He also said that there will be no garage at the new terminal, which means that no buses will be allowed to park at the terminal for long periods, but will have set schedules to arrive at the terminal to pick up and drop off passengers to minimise congestion at the terminal.

Oh dear, there will have to be a budget and contracts will have to be awarded.

MR2 is temporary, really it's been there for decades...

LOL, and it still works pretty well. was there for NY and it was simple and easy

 

Looking at a map it is not going to be easy there really is not a lot of vacant land there unless they are going to make a thai very rich buying some of the malls near JJ market

It was supposed to have moved back to its original location next to the Mo Chit BTS station once construction of the BTS was completed, but instead the land there has been used for...absolutely nothing. The planned high rise over the train depot was never built, and the land in front of the depot is used for free car parking.

It's an utter s**thole though. All the old shops and stalls are empty and rotting away and very little maintenance has been done on it over the years. It's great to drive to but is in need of much better public transport connections.

To be called 'The Garage'?

Agreed but where consider that there are a lot of rail lines in that area as well as it is developed.  They just spent a crap load of money on the minivan bus area are they going to write that off as well.

 

I think this has been discussed before and nothing done so I am not holding my breathe.
