    Pink Line Monorail Begins Service with Free Rides

    The Pink Line Monorail has begun its operations, connecting Khae Rai to Min Buri across a 34.5-kilometer stretch with 30 stations.


    In an opening day announcement, the Mass Rapid Transit Authority of Thailand (MRTA) and the Northern Bangkok Monorail Company Limited (NBM) stated that commuters could enjoy free rides for approximately one month, starting from 3:00 p.m. today (Nov 21).


    The monorail will operate from 6:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. during its first week, providing a new, efficient transit option for Bangkok residents. Following the trial period, the service will switch to its regular paid operation from December 18, with ticket prices ranging from 15 to 45 Baht.


    The introduction of the Pink Line is expected to ease traffic congestion in Bangkok, offering a faster and more convenient travel alternative. Residents and visitors are advised to stay updated with further announcements from MRTA and NBM regarding the Pink Line’s services and schedules.

    The wife and I will get out and give it a try. Couple years ago did the same with the free Red Line trial and went out to Taling Chan for a great meal. Fun and cheap way to spend a few nice afternoon hours.

    Have seen the pink line trains running for the last week or so during the afternoons. It will be a good addition for people in the Northside to get around. I remem,ber when the purple line started the free journeys and the initial start of the paid service. It was a ghost train for a while. The Pink line might get a bit more uptake in a faster period than the purple line.
