Public transport Bangkok

The aerial metro, which predates the MRT, has helped to relieve the city's congestion for the first time. It's a shame, however, that given the immensity of the city, its network is relatively small. There are 5 lines. The light green line runs from Mo Chit to Smut Prakarn, serving Victory Monument, Siam, Nana and Asok stations. The dark green line runs from National Stadium to Bang Wa on the opposite bank. The red line runs from Suvarnabhumi airport to Phaya Thai. New lines and extensions are constantly under construction.

The city's subway railway has just 2 lines. The Blue Line runs in a wide half-loop from Hua Lampong railway station to Bang Sue Station (Krung Thep Aphiwat). It serves 18 stations, including Chinatown, Silom, Sukhumvit and Chatuchak. It operates from 6 a.m. to midnight every day, every 5 minutes at peak times and approximately every 10 minutes the rest of the time. Connections with the BTS are possible at certain stations. The Purple Line is partially open.
