Inconveniencing commuters? Resorting to hyberbole?
I've taken the train from Phaya Thai and Ratchaparop, with bags, and yes it can be crowded but not BTS rush hour crowded. To me, and others will differ, the express is not worth the money. It's more expensive than a taxi if 2 people are traveling.
There will be high traffic times and lower traffic times. If you're attempting to access the city line at Ratchaparop with bags you're not inconveniencing commuters, just yourself.
