Bangkok should scrap the Light Red Line extension and build this instead
By James Clark
Bangkok is planning to build the Don Mueang–Suvarnabhumi–U-Tapao high-speed railway (the High-Speed Rail Linking Three Airports Project). Bangkok is also planning the eastern extension of the Light Red Line commuter railway in the same corridor.
The Light Red Line eastern extension is an unnecessary duplication of resources. The money and labour hours should be directed to more urgent transit projects.
My proposal is to scrap the Light Red Line eastern extension and build a transit line along Petchaburi Road.
