Major rail links set for go-ahead

Congestion will test the patience of commuters as major construction work kicks off on 10 routes

Bangkok residents can look forward to better times commuting when a network of metropolitan rail route projects gets the go-ahead this year.

In 2017, work on all 10 rail route projects and their extensions proposed by officials will have started. The rail lines will start going into service this year until all are in place by 2023, says Transport Minister Arkhom Termpittayapaisith.
