the opening of the first BRT (Bus Rapid Transport) route in Bangkok, starting from Sathorn Station (BTS Chong Nonsri) to Rajapruek Station. The 15.9 km route has 12 stops and the time from one place to the other is 30 minutes. It can contain to 80 passenger with seats for 20 people. The buses begin to running from 6 am. to midnight every day. Everyone can buy a ticket from a machine in the station and you continue to the platform. However, the ticket system is imperfect. Riding of BRT will be free from now until August 31 2010. After that, it will change a ticket fee to 10 baht through December 2010. In 2011, it will be 12 to 20 baht.
In my opinion, I think Bus Rapid Transport is necessary for a city man. Because their activity always hustle in everyday. Although, the government has established BTS already, it is not enough for demand of the people who stay around that area. For example, Siam , there are many companies open around there. Thereby, having the rapid transportation suits for the people who must go to their company. BRT is very useful and convenient for everyone. More information
I also hope this will improve the traffic problems in BKK. (2)
