The Pink Line monorail in Bangkok will be up and running this year, with the project’s construction about 95% done as of December last year, deputy government spokeswoman Tipanan Sirichana said on Monday.
Work on the 53.5-billion-baht public transit project has been underway since 2016, with the government helping the Mass Rapid Transit Authority of Thailand (MRTA) with land appropriation.
The government hopes the Pink Line, which will link Khae Rai in Nonthaburi with Min Buri in east Bangkok, will help relieve the chronic traffic congestion across northern Bangkok.
