Bangkok rolls out 5 new EV shuttle routes to beat traffic

Bangkok will launch five new electric shuttle routes on August 1 under its BMA Feeder programme to ease traffic and link communities with key rail lines. The initiative, expanding from two pilot routes, aims to improve first- and last-mile travel using eco-friendly buses. Operating across areas like Din Daeng, Taling Chan, and Chatuchak, the EV shuttles align with Bangkok’s plan to cut emissions and modernise transport. The city is also retiring its old diesel fleet, with a 15.35 billion baht electric bus lease approved to replace outdated NGV buses and support a cleaner, more connected capital.
