Pink Line Monorail Expected to Start Running in December 2023

The Northern Bangkok Monorail Company Limited (NBM), the concessionaire for the Pink Line electric train project, has written to the Mass Rapid Transit Authority of Thailand (MRTA) to inform them that the project is undergoing a Trial Run and is ready to open for service on 18th December 2023. However, the MRTA has to give the green light first before this is allowed to happen. Fares are expected to start at 14 Baht with a maximum ticket price of 42 Baht. Like the Yellow Line, the public will be allowed to use the service for free for one month. This may start around mid-November depending on the results of the trial runs.

Phase 1 of testing, which runs from Minburi Station (PK30) to Government Center Station (PK12) will continue until 22nd October 2023. Then Phase 2 Trial Run will run from Minburi Station (PK30) to Nonthaburi Government Center Station (PK01) until 19th November 2023.
