The BTS Skytrain is the safest, most comfortable and convenient way to get around Bangkok. In
service since December 5, 1999, it
has transformed the face of public transportation in the Thai
capital, for the first time offering both residents and visitors
a comfortable ride through central Bangkok - lifting commuters
above the chronic congestion, noise and pollution of the streets
below.
Stations
The typical station consists of two levels - concourse and
platform. The concourse provides ticketing facilities and other passenger amenities as well as access to the system. The platform
is for waiting, boarding and alighting from the train. Please
be aware that the train may approach the platform anytime, from
any direction.
Trains
The
trains are designed to high international standards. Doors open
/ close automatically. Beeper sounds will warn you when the
doors are about to close. If standing please stand clear of
the door's at all times.
Track
Stay
away from the track and electrified rails. Pay attention to
all warning signs. Trespassing onto the track area can cause
severe injury to yourself or others. |
