To facilitate this development, the study recommends a public-private partnership (PPP) model, a collaborative investment approach between the government and private entities.

Has to be the best way to get more of those brown envelopes- the government is going to have loads more loot from making farangs pay tax, so lots to share with their buddies.

Since most of the jams are due to current roadworks, influx of Bangkokians at weekends and holiday weekends, this would do little, if anything, to improve the situation. 

Start at ground level, enforce parking regulations, remove half the Baht buses, and control tour busses, there you go - fixed it for you!!

Finally, the definitive solution, they should give it a whirl, I'm sure they'd have it mastered in no time! :whistling: I'm proposing you for a pay rise, Len!

Can you imagine the chaos it would cause if they ever started to build it. The whole of Pattaya would grind to a halt.

Not for this bit of the plan, it's not in downtown Pattaya, but might cause distress to those further South.

Yeah, but it would surely kill off some of the motorbike riders, tuk tuk´s and songthaews.

Recent feasibility studies

They spend millions on these studies every few years and nothing happens except those who are connected get richer.  The scheme is a non-starter as the police and their partners the taxi-drivers will not allow it.

I'm sure they could reduce the baht buses but halve is a bit extreme, these work fairly well IMHO.

Controlling the tour buses is an essential.

Or perhaps prohibit private cars and certainly tour buses entering central Pattaya, and encourage use of Baht buses?

Pattaya City is set to enhance its public transport infrastructure with the introduction of a new monorail system known as the Red Line.

Just give it up, sort out the roads and get some real transportation routes moving.

Too sensible to work out a park it and ride system

Looks absolutely horrible from the photo--a sea of ugly pillars.  Please don't build it.

 

Reminiscent of the abandoned "Hopewell" project in Bangkok. Thailand's own Stonehenge *titter*.

So the Green Line will be Pattaya beach road, and the Red Line Jomtien beach road. Sounds good. Will they fix the flooding and sand erosion at the same time?

Monorails are a total waste of money, they fail and breakdown frequently in nearly every country that has  installed them. The only one that really works is in Japan.

That old rubbish again.

 A :cheesy: for every time it's been trotted out.

 

Must be time for a few more brown envelopes.

The TNT report I saw yesterday gave me an impression of work will be starting soon..... should be great for traffic.
