Pretty sure the Spider (mangmoom) card is dead. It's been five years, still nothing. Saw some news about a potentail universal card. So still no card.

The new red line will serve DMK. Currently SRT trains originating at Hua Lumphong to the north and norteast pass/stop at DMK, so you can still take rail to DMK. Watch the video below as the green line extension has a station (N23) at the NE corner of DMK, and there is some mention of using this and a shuttle bus for connections until the red line opens?
Appreciate your response, transpac !

Ya, I was just wondering about the reliability of the current DMK train, when compared to the usual road traffic.
