The government has set its sight on building rail connections to all regions by 2028, which will position the country strategically as the transport and logistical hub of Asean, according to the Transport Ministry.
Railways are being developed as the main mode of cargo and passenger transport with the private sector being offered roles in delivering rail services, said deputy transport permanent secretary Pisak Jitviriyawasin during his keynote speech at the “Thailand’s Rail Developments” forum in Bangkok on Thursday.
The private investment in the rail services would cater to the best interest of the people and provide economic returns on the rail projects.
