One issue of Bangkok, is that it has too many different companies running different lines with various of traffic IC cards, and transfer stations are named different names, it's hard to find the right way. That's so confusing and challenging particularly to foreigners.
Like Tokyo then
@@linusfotograf All traffic cards are accepted in almost all of the systems in Tokyo. Like I can use JR Hokkaido Kitaca travelling on every metro line in Tokyo rather than holding Tokyo Suica, that's much different from Bangkok's.
@@twhot I see. Then Bangkok must be really confusing
The other thing is that transfer stations from different systems adopt the same name in Japan. For example, Tokyo Metro, Toei Subway & JR all have "Iidabashi" 飯田橋, so passengers can easily know where to transfer between railway systems instead of having to know 2 or 3 different names at the same place. The most important, daily pass ticket can get you travel unlimited rides within both metro systems without worrying about the fare. For this aspect, Bangkok did it much worse than Japan, Taiwan or Korea.
I agree. One of the things that makes it tough is the lack of fare integration. So many times you need to use the Toei metro and Tokyo metro.
As of November 2023, Bangkok has 10 mass transit lines with 190 stations and a combined length of 276.84 kilometres which is only 50% of the (1st-phase) Master Plan realised but already makes the network the most extensive in all of South East Asia. Keep forging ahead, Queen 🥰😍🤩😘

As Thai citizen. I wish this vdo has never ended. Not only Bangkok, we want a good transport system in other parts of the country.

It will be so amazing when the Red line reaches Ayutthaya, Chachengsao and Samut Songkram. It's almost covering Central Thailand, not just Bangkok area. I would love to hop on the train and take a day trip to see the ancient ruins of Ayutthaya and be back in Bangkok same day without driving.
I think it would be done in the future.
In the future, you can go to Ayutthaya by high speed train
But you can make 1 day trip to Ayuthaya by train at Grand central station . Very easy and convenient .It take about 1 hour/way by train
@@atenforever it is a very old train where most cabins doesn't have air conditioning and runs wayyyy slower than the current red line trains
@@MrWongnawa Worth it for the hot and humid experience 😀
All throughout Bangkok you can see these new overhead lines and stations being built. It's so exciting; feels like being a part of the future.
เป็นคนกรุงเทพค่ะ ว่าเส้นทางเป็นแบบนี้ ขอบคุณทุกคนที่ช่วยพัฒนาโครงสร้างพื้นฐานกรุงเทพและในอนาคตจะกระจายไปต่างจังหวัด ขอบคุณข้อมูลค่ะ 💛
Bangkok has potential to become a big transit city
Fuck no
I agree if the city layout wasn’t so chopped up and complicated for the governments to take land back. A completely different topic
Before it sinks under the weight of the infrastructure!
Really hope so, I hate traffic jam.
I’m Thai, In 1999, I was an office worker in Siam Center area. I was excited to ride the BTS for the first time. Now Thailand has expanded its transportation system very well. It is convenient to travel. At present, it is possible to travel out of the city in every province. You make this vdo clip easy to understand both past, present and future.👍👍👍
ภาษาอังกฤษผิดหลายที่่นะ
I live in Bangkok. Your video is amazing with how it’s editted and it’s surely a work of art how you draw lines with such great precision.
Mrt and bts are really easy to use as a foreigner, very efficient and pleasant compared to where I'm from, San Francisco.
Still could've been better if the BTS would just shut the f up and go along with the MRTA plan to unified the ticket system. 😑
Everybody else were ready for this, even the busses and the BTS had to go and ruin it all for everyone.
I really hate those noisy ads they try to forced on to you at every corner of the system. And the system integration is rubbish. Otherwise, it has great potential.
@@punnboat9817 that's what you get from private transit. I don't mind the ads if they make tickets cheaper and the workers paid well, but those aren't the case.
@@thastayapongsak4422 I don't mind the ads if they got no sound, like in Japan or S.Korea.
About private transit, I also not sure they are the greatest invention. Sure, they get the lines built faster. But they start to influence politics to benefits themselves. There is a reason why when SRT(รฟท) try to do something, like building new lines or buying new trains. It repeatedly get blocked by ministry of transport. Which happens to run by someone closely related to private train company.
@@punnboat9817 while i agree with you with the absolute rubbish integration and payment system, i do find myself quite fond of the ads. I feel like it gives the trains and the stations some character. Unlike the SRTs which are a little boring imo.
"Hey Bangkok, how many lines are you planning?"
"Yes"
Orange, Purple (south extension ) Monorail 2lines are under construction, whenever completed, it will be activated at that time.
As someone from BKK, "Yes" is the wrong answer.
The correct one is "More please".
If you saw our traffic jams you would not think this is overkill.
I'm so glad that you did my city :)
If anyone has complaints about the current state of the Bangkok public transit system, they should travel back in time about 20 years when this system was in it's infancy. I arrived in Bangkok for the first time in 2002 when only the BTS with about 20 stations existed. It was good, but not very extensive and you still needed to take taxis to most destinations. At that time, Bangkok traffic was rated as the worst in the world by The Economist. Worse still, getting a taxi at rush hour was nearly impossible as many drivers simply didn't want to pick up passengers and get stuck in traffic somewhere. In short, getting around Bangkok in 2002 was a nightmare.
I returned to Bangkok in 2022, this time long term, and between the BTS, metro, and Grab it's incredibly easy to get around the city now. Even though the BTS and metro require different cards, it's still a pleasure traveling around this city today.
try benchmarking BTS, metro, and grab rates against the avg salaries
@@narudh there are free, or less than 50c buses.
As a tourist, yes you'll have a good time travelling around. But for people who work here, it's better to buy a car because public transport is not very reliable which makes Bangkok has one of the worst traffic jams in the world.
@@user-1879k3 which run unpredictably and take a lot longer to reach each destination.
Try living through the same circumstances as most of the people who live in bangkok and commute daily around the area without privilege, paying full taxes and still cant afford to get to use the service as frequent.
Glad you made Bangkok’s, big love from Thailand 🙏🏻❤️
Always interesting to see when a city gets a monorail.
As a regular visitor to BKK, I’m happy that the rail network is expanding continually. Upon arrival at airport, I will make an effort to take rail transport to downtown. I only wish tourists will only require one card to use the different rail system.
In Singapore, you will use one standard EZ link card to take the different lines of our railway and it’s also used for public buses too! Moreover, passenger are charged by distance, whether you switch to different line or continue from train to bus. Super user friendly and affordable.😅
we do it here in New Zealand. One Card, multiple destinations 😎
All MRT and SRT lines support EMV contactless cards (Visa, Mastercard). You can tap your credit card at these systems. Only BTS and the Airport Link have their own transit cards.
Sound from 4:40 like a futuristic ❤ Love Bangkok ongoing progress
For the longest time I heard that we couldn't have subway in Bangkok because of the sunken ground and what not. Then all these projects started to happen. I am happy with what we have, even if they are not as reaching as they should. Or being cheaper to make it more competitive to bus fares. Currently, the price was a couple of notch below Tokyo, which is not good considering the cost of living between the two cities.
I think Tokyo is 2-3 times more expansive that. Bangkok is a very big city and based on tens of kilometers the price is not that high (litel). The main problem is not having unlimited monthly and annual subscriptions like in other countries. At home the metro is much more expensive, single price (regardless of the number of stations, per zone) of 70B for Zone 1 (just the City) (example 1 Bangkok, 2 Nanthaburie, 3 bang yai, 4 Ayutthaya. In Area 1 is 70B per trip (and contree pay also 70b for the compagnie, the real price are 140B, but you pay only 70) which is very expensive for me (the city is also much smaller (Bangkok 1600 Km², Paris 110Km²) 10 stations at home is like 2 or 3 station in Bangkok. But we have yearly and monthly subscriptions that are not expensive at all in comparison.
(the exchange difference and cost of living, salaries month it's 3-4 time that Thailand (for exemple minimum work are not 10 000 B but 40 000 B. The Suscription unlimited Zone 1 is about 75 euro, about 2500 B for Zone 1
(and even cheaper for children and pensioners, handicap etc) in proportion to the Thai salary and the Thai cost of living, this would be like pay only 700 B month. (even a person with the minimum salary can easily afford it)
Your country not being communist, the city very big, you dont have a lot of taxe, (you can't have same price)
I think that 1000 B for the poor worker, 600b for the children, 800b for secondary scool and university student and 2700 b for the Farang workers, student (have géneraly litel more cash Thai (but not so mutch more to days)
would be a good price for All. (If Thailande want to reduce tne number of car, Also a taxe of 20 000 B anualy for worker dont have Child (and give this cash for help the Metro construction) can are a good deal
(so mutch Guy in Thaïlande drive car Alone for go work.) When you see 1 guy alone in big pikup, and 5 people (3childs) in moto cycle, you think have a probleme.
In 1992 the German contractor Philip Holzman stared a project named METRO 2000 in which they promoted the use special TBM's that could handle the Bangkok soil and drill subway tunnels. Many people laughed about it but not much later it became a reality
Nice likes 😏
Wow Perfect
Incredible video - well done! And very exciting times indeed.
I live and teach in Chachoengsao but spend most weekends in Bangkok (constantly in awe of the city!) I hope the connecting BTS line happens in my lifetime! 🙏🏻🤣
Best city
Bangkok is an incredible city. Happy to see it growing.
Great as always! Will you make Kiev, Prague, Budapest, Warsaw, Sofia and Bucharest?
Really excited for the upcoming projects.
thanks for this informative and easy to understand video
Thank you Metro Liner for information, say HI! from Thailand.
New nice video and i had know nothing about Bangkok before this video.🥰Thanks.
สวยมากกกกก ทำคลิปดีมาก ขอชื่นชมจากใจ
South Purple line has already started for construction!
Thank you so much for this 🙏
ขอบคุณมากค่ะ สำหรับคลิปนี้
I've been waiting for this one
ตั้งใจทำมาก thank you
The entire system is modern and clean. On top of that, people are quiet and conscious of other people's spaces. It's ab fab, Darlings!
Almost forgot to check this channel for any great new content released. I was kind of taken aback when I saw they opened new monorail lines and wondered why they couldn't just use light metro since its superior in almost every way. Anyways, great video as always!!
Thank you for coming back!
@@MetroLiner always willing to come back for channels that upload the highest quality content. 😊👍🏻
@@MetroLinerwhat is the name of the song you have Put it in this video
I’m living nearby MRT Purple line I’m very excited that they extend the pink line in near future !❤
It will be interesting to see if it results in less traffic on Tiwanon Road and less congestion at the Khae Rai intersection. I'm kind of looking forward to more lanes on Tiwanon Road again.
I'm very sorry, may I ask why I didn't see the yellow line and connected it to the purple line after crossing the river from Samrong?
Love it !
Love riding the BTS in Bangkok especially on a very hot day.
Great video ❤️
Thank you I'm from Bangkok I like your channel I will subscribe and like
Thanks for your VDO from BKK.
Currently, the Yellow Line is open for service. June 2023
Mono rail from Lardprow to Samrong 30 Km
Add more convenience. Total distance is 242 km.
thank you from bangkok :)
สุดยอดครับ
Cool video, there any so many different websites in Thailand for the different projects must have taken a lot of effort to research this all. I'm looking forwards to trying the new pink monorail line when that opens this year.
Great video! I wish you could do a video on Athens, Greece as it has just started construction on its 4th line and there are several proposals!
I am really glad the animation Thank you🙂
One things I salut bkk is when they built mrt bts etc they did not much disturb the road traffic n very fast completed. Mysia mrt one block of base takes above 5 yrs n need to use up to 80% Road n closed road sometimes...
I am on my knees BEGGING you to do a video on Vancouver and all the proposed extensions. Also cool history with the now lost tram lines and the still existing west coast express rail
Wowwww I really wait for videos, I love ur content bro.
Btw will u make more videos on Mumbai , Bangalore or Hyderabad. Their metros are expanding rapidly. I know u have already made a video on Delhi metro & I have watched it but I want u to make one on other cities mentioned above,Its a request from ur Indian fan🇮🇳❤
I’d subscribed your channel before I’d watched this video , I lived in Bangkok so surprised for me😢, In fact, MRT Orange line under construction since 2017 present almost done(only structure) songs in this video 0:01 Blue Ocean 1:43 Rivers of Eternity (Evgeny Bardyuzha) 4:41 Magic Dust (Evgeny Bardyuzha)
Just the east line, the western line is still bidding for concessions.
Which city would like to see next?
San Francisco or Barcelona, maybe?
Budapest,Hungary
Tbilisi and Barcelona.
(Have been asking for Tbilisi for long)
barcelona would be pretty cool, it has a good metro system
some African cites
I love that we can use our Visa card to tap to enter the station without having to buy a train ticket. It’s as convenient as in Singapore or London . It’s only on MRT lines though, unfortunately.
SRT also can using
Sad for BTS But BTS can use qr payment to buy ticket at ticket machine.(i think mrt also can do this)
true! BTS is far lagging behind MRT in term of convenience, their major concern is Cha Ching Cha Ching.
The reason is pretty simple. MRT is owned by the government so the system is directly related to visas. BTS is a completely different system, different organization.
Excelente video
Waiting for Kuala Lumpur! Subscribed.
Bangkok could have been so much better with commuter rails. Sadly the state railway did not pay attention enough to make it convenient for most people living in the outskirts (poor conditions of the trains, fewer scheduled services like 1 tph or no train at all during daytime, lots of rail crossing with the roads, and difficulty in changing between railway station and other modes of transport)
the state railway of Thailand is a real shit, they are the one who pull out legs, whatever they touch will rust.
I’m from Thai I support Thai TYSM🇹🇭
I born in 2016
I clicked on like and subscribed^^
Great video man. Can you make a video about Mumbai, it has railway system and metro system and also has a monorail system. Would be great to see my city:). Love your videos brother❤
Thank you!
Could you do Madrid futre plans and proposals? Keep going! I love your videos
I am thai and I love bts (Bangkok transit system)
Bangkok expanding just like other cities with the metro system also expanding as the population grows.
Such a great video! Could you please make also Barcelona and Rome? Thanks a lot!
Very interesting. Love this animation.
Very impressive
Very high-quality vid indeed. Btw, what 2nd music did you use? It's quite good.
2 days ago BKK just opened thier tenth line : Pink Line
I knew that you will back >:³
New Camera movement is little bit weird, but I think this video still good!
Can't wait to see all these lines built. I love trains.
เยี่ยมมากเลยค่ะ
Is kuala lumpur/greater Klang valley on your list for future vid?
thank you 3 times
When I was young I always wonder why they didn’t expand the line from National Stadium but a few years ago when I passed the area next to the station I can clearly see why also it’s very funny that I’d passed that area for a few times when it’s very close to my house.
well done！nice music！
With all projects done soon as possible. Love Bangkok ❤
Would you please do the evolution of metro manila’s mass transit system next? I am genuinely insterested in seeing such. Thank you!
3 June 2023 -- Yellow Line is open for a passenger test-run.
Great 👍
thanks
This is impressive development.
ขอบคุณ จากไทยแลนด์
The blue line is a figure 6 driving. The Oedo Line of the Tokyo subway is also a figure-of-six operation. Tokyo Oedo Line = Bangkok Blue Line
and the Red line (SRT) in Bangkok = RER in Paris
This is amazing and exciting at the same time. I hope when this happens, Thailand is ready to take in more and more tourists and immigrants.
The yellow line just opened today, I am looking forward to using the trains in the future
As a Thai, I saw many problem happened in this project that prepare to open this year (2023), but I hope some planned in Future section will become one of this project and I hope they don't cancel it.
Great video! Are you going to make Krakow tram system?
Bangkok keep moving so fast and sustainable, one of the great city to visit
As a Thai, I disagree with the latter one lol.
OMG! Bangkok is awesome!
อ่าอนาคตคงต้องใช้รถไฟฟ้าส่วนใหญ่อะนะเพราะในกรุงเทพรถติดเยอะมาก
wow bangkok sky train never end😮
and the sky train map is big wow😮
i love the map❤
For my part I find the network, efficient, clean, safe and pleasant. NICE WORK, BUT If the network works well, it is possible to do better. I think Thais and Bangkok deserve to have the best metro in the world, to make Tokyo jealous. A few mining for improvement in my opinion:
1) 1 card for all metro, and 1 unlimeted abonement (expensif is not a probleme) for exemple 4-5000B/ mount
if the card in addition could be reloaded in the seven-11 and pay for small races, such as vending machines. This would be perfect!!!
2) (although I think that the MRT stations (should be more decorated, what was done for the station Wat Mangorn (dragon temple) should be extended to all the main stations.
For Stations, take inspiration from the Moscow Metro (there are plenty of Thai artists who would be very happy to offer works to decorate the metro.) Why not ?
3) MRT are large but Sorely lacking benches, it is only recently that there are more benches (only two benches per station) Pregnant woman, handicapped, old people, tired thai worker, tourist exhausted from heat and walking ) people are painfully waiting for their train, and it is just unavoidable)
4)In addition to the name of the Station, for tourists, it would be good to indicate the main attractions and centers of attraction around the station (why not show them on the screens (even if it means stopping advertisement just for 10 seconds)
5) More panels with the representation of the stations would be a plus (especially on the Siam Station where this is really missing (it is also not clear enough the direction where the train is going (heat, tied, lost, add a big arrow on the map to know where going the train and the direction would be a big UP.
6)Create an interactive website with all train, companies (boat and principal Bus) and attractions in Bangkok.
You calculate the point of origin and where you want to go, the site tells you which metro, change, duration, cost and how many meters you will have to walk, or may be propose you to catch a taxi, bot, etc
which also Bus number etc (also in MRT/BTS give the door number)
the website could also communicate on the filling of the metro, and offer to postpone the journey for a few minutes (when the user peak is lower)
And I recommend you to do it in multi language
(minimum Thai and English,) But Chinese and Japanese tourists, like French are often really bad in English... The number of tourists coming from Eastern Europe and Russia increasing, Russian would also be interesting . Maybe Korean, Spanish and Arabic (to really help a maximum of tourists helping) in the future maybe also Vietnamese will come in mass. The site could also present the attractions near each station and make suggestions according to the district of residence and its Hotel.
7) if the metro is generally very clean.
There are always traces of glue, greasy dirt (escalator, etc.) (the Metro Shit) in certain places (debris at heights) (something that cleaning ladies will have trouble cleaning on a daily basis) It would therefore be good to add a dedicated team each quarter to pass in each station in order to clean the rebel traces and prevent the accumulation of dirt (particularly necessary where the classic cleaning ladies cannot go or do)
This type of cleaning does not need to be frequent, but twice a year.
Of course it's ideas for improvement, the networks and already great.
But we can make it even better.
best regards
missed Yellow Line extends Latphrao > Phahonyothin 24
Can you make a video about the Budapest Metro? It should be a great one in your style.
Nice
The purple line extension will be difficult and interesting. It's definitely needed as it would go to the historical part of old bangkok
It's already being built right now.
It's underground just like building the MRT Blue line. not affect to any historical.
หวังว่าจะเป็นไปตามแผนนี้ คนกรุงเทพจะได้มีชีวิตความเป็นอยุ่ที่สะดวกสะบายขึ้นค่ะ
รถก็ติดเหมือนเดิมจ้า ราคาก็แพง คนค่าแรงขั้นต่ำ ชั้นแรงงานไม่ได้ใช้
แทบไม่ได้ช่วยอะไร ชนชั้นล่างไม่มีปัญญาขึ้นเพราะแพงเกิน สรุปรถติดเหมือนเดิม
จริงครับ แต่หลายคนเหมือนจะไม่เข้าใจ รถไฟฟ้าได้อะไรมากกว่าแค่แก้รถติด
you should make the key tab of whatever line is being extended blink
Some ideas for future videos: Barcelona, Montreal, Budapest, Cairo
