Bangkok’s Red Line commuter train is running more regularly than ever, now opening as early as 5:00 AM everyday. The current modifications intend to enhance guest benefit, particularly for those taking a trip to Don Mueang Airport in the morning.
Sutep Punthupeng, CEO of SRT Electrified Train (SRTET), revealed the brand-new service schedule for its Red Line commuter train in the capital, with more regular services and longer operating hours. The brand-new train schedule sees the line open for travelers every day beginning at 5:00 AM, a half-hour earlier than the previous opening time of 5:30 AM.
Trains running on the northern branch in between Krung Thep Aphiwat Central Terminal and Rangsit now run more regularly, with a much shorter 10-minute headway throughout peak durations, consisting of from 7:00 AM to 9:30 AM and 5:00 PM to 7:30 PM. Trains will keep up a 15-minute headway outside the peak hours.
Comparable modifications are likewise being made to the western branch in between Krung Thep Aphiwat Central Terminal and Taling Chan, with trains keeping up a 20-minute headway throughout the day.
The SRTET CEO stated these modifications benefit travelers, especially those taking a trip to Don Mueang International Airport in the morning.
The Red Line commuter path formerly served approximately 23,000-24,000 travelers daily, and as numerous as 25,000 on Fridays. SRTET now intends to increase the ridership to 26,000 everyday travelers, based upon favorable actions from its guest fulfillment study. ( NNT)
