Bangkok’s first monorail clears hearing process

[taony]

Only trouble with this will again be the lack of carriages. There is no way in the world 128,000 people a day will use it, it will be closer to double that.

Someone tell the authorities that Bangkok is growing by the day.

Someone better tell BMA that berybert is in on this and has done enough research to know not only how many carriages will be in use but also how many passengers will be using it. I wonder why he didn't tell us what the fare structure was going to be as well?

Based on what we have now, he's right to expect it will be under-invested.

Under-invested? Who said anything about investment levels?

"Based on what we have now", when you say that are you referring to the excellent BTS and MRT system?

From clearing the hearing process to implementing the project.......I doubt I will be alive to see it.

In Thailand there are 2 major culture concepts.

Cha Cha (go slow)

And Mai Ben Rai (Doesn't matter)

I thought Mai Pen Rai meant 'I don't give a sh*t....'

will the tickets merge? hope they don't have a 3rd ticketing system!

Now go buy land around the mono rail lines to make big money.

Of course the tickets won't merge then 3 sets of sticky fingers can get their trotters in the trough.
