The MRT system comprises two fully operational [[rapid transit]] lines (Blue and Purple) and two fully operational monorail lines (Yellow and Pink), with another rapid transit line (Orange) under construction. The [[MRT Blue Line]], officially the ''Chaloem Ratchamongkhon Line'', between [[Hua Lamphong MRT station|Hua Lamphong]] and [[Bang Sue MRT station|Bang Sue]] was the first to open in July 2004 as Bangkok's second metro system. The MRT Blue line is officially known in Thai as ''rotfaifa mahanakhon'' (รถไฟฟ้ามหานคร) or "metropolitan SkyTrain", but it is more commonly called ''rotfai taidin'' (รถไฟใต้ดิน), literally, "underground train" as it was distinguished from the [[BTS Skytrain]] by being completely underground when its first section between Hua Lamphong to Bang Sue opened.

The second MRT line [[MRT Purple Line]], officially the ''Chalong Ratchadham Line'', opened on 6 August 2016 and connected [[Tao Poon MRT station|Tao Poon]] with [[Khlong Bang Phai MRT station|Khlong Bang Phai]] in [[Nonthaburi (city)|Nonthaburi]] in the northwest of Greater Bangkok. It was the first mass transit line to extend outside Bangkok.

Both the Blue Line and Purple Line are operated by the [[Bangkok Expressway and Metro Public Company Limited]] (BEM) under a concession granted by the [[Mass Rapid Transit Authority of Thailand]] (MRTA), which is the owner of the MRT lines. Along with the BTS Skytrain and the [[Suvarnabhumi Airport Rail Link|Airport Rail Link]], the MRT is part of Bangkok's [[Rail transport in Bangkok|rail transportation infrastructure]]. The BEM-operated MRT lines have 526,000 passengers each day as of August 2024 (Blue Line 453,000 and Purple Line 73,000) with 54 operational stations and a combined route length of {{convert|71|km|mi|sp=us}}.<ref name="CRLine">{{cite web|url=http://www.mrta.co.th/MRTAproject/engChaLeamLine.php|title=M.R.T.

The [[MRT Yellow Line]] monorail, officially the ''Nakkhara Phiphat Line'', opened for trial operation in June 2023 and was fully opened on 3 July 2023. The [[MRT Pink Line]] monorail opened for public trial operation in November 2023, and was fully opened on 1 February 2024. The Yellow and Pink Lines are operated by subsidiaries of [[BTS Group Holdings|BTSC]], who also operate the [[BTS Skytrain]] rather than BEM.

Other MRT lines are planned for the future MRT system with the [[MRT Orange Line]] and the southern extension of the [[MRT Purple Line]] from [[Tao Poon MRT station|Tao Poon]] to [[Rat Burana MRT station|Rat Burana]]<ref name="thaipost.net">{{Cite web|title='ศักดิ์สยาม'สั่งลุยเปิดประมูลรถไฟฟ้าสายสีส้ม-ม่วงใต้ภายในปีนี้|url=https://www.thaipost.net/main/detail/69138|access-date=2020-06-25|website=Thai Post {{!}} อิสรภาพแห่งความคิด|language=en}}</ref> are under construction. The [[MRT Brown Line]] is also planned.<ref name="khaosod.co.th">{{Cite web|url=https://www.khaosod.co.th/economics/news_2589584|title=บอร์ดรฟม.ไฟเขียวควักเอง 1.4 พันล้านสร้างฐานรากรถไฟฟ้าสายสีน้ำตาล คาดสร้าง|date=6 June 2019}}</ref>

The MRT was constructed under a concession framework. For the first MRT line, officially known as '''Chaloem Ratchamongkhon''' or informally as the "Blue Line", civil infrastructure was provided by the government sector, Mass Rapid Transit Authority of Thailand ('''MRTA'''), and handed over to their concessionaire under a 25-year concession agreement. [[Bangkok Expressway and Metro Public Company Limited]] (BEM) was the only private sector company that won a bid in MRTA's concession contract for the blue line. As MRTA's concessionaire, BEM provides M&E equipment, including electrical trains, signalling systems, SCADA, communication, PSD, etc. for the subway project and fully operates the system. To maintain the system, BEM has subcontracted in 10 years to Siemens, which was the M&E system supplier since system opening and 7 years maintenance contract to two local maintenance services for north and south line.

The construction of the first Bangkok Metro line, officially known as '''Chaloem Ratchamongkhon''' (Thai สายเฉลิมรัชมงคล) – "Celebration of Royal Auspice" – or informally as the "Blue Line", began on 19 November 1996. The project suffered multiple delays not only because of the [[1997 Asian financial crisis|1997 economic crisis]], but also due to challenging civil engineering works of constructing massive underground structures deep in the water-logged soil upon which the city is built.

The [[MRT Blue Line|Blue Line]] was opened for a limited public trial period of several weeks starting on 13 April 2004. On 3 July 2004 the line was officially opened at 19:19 local time by [[Bhumibol Adulyadej|HM King Bhumibol]] and [[Sirikit|Queen Sirikit]], who were accompanied by other members of the royal family. Within 30 minutes of its opening, sightseers filled the system to its maximum capacity, but after the initial rush ridership has settled down to around 180,000 riders daily — considerably lower than projections of over 400,000, despite fares being slashed in half from 12 to 38 baht to 10-15 baht per trip. From 2006 until 2008, fares ranged between 14 and 36 baht per trip. The fare was raised to 16-41 Baht on 1 January 2009. Daily ridership in 2014 was 253,000.<ref name="AR2014">{{cite web|url=http://bmcl.listedcompany.com/misc/ar/20150305-bmcl-ar2014-en.pdf |title=Bangkok Metro Public Corporation Annual Report 2014 |page=6 |year=2015 |access-date=2016-01-07 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151001130512/http://bmcl.listedcompany.com/misc/ar/20150305-bmcl-ar2014-en.pdf |archive-date=2015-10-01 }}</ref>

In August 2016, the [[MRT Purple Line|Purple Line]] opened for service. In August 2017, the [[MRT Blue Line]] was extended to Tao Poon station allowing interchange with the Purple Lines.

==Operation== [[File:Prohibited act by Bangkok MRT.jpg|thumb|Sign indicating prohibitions in the MRT system]] Bangkok, a city situated on a low-lying plain, is susceptible to flooding. Consequently, the entrances to MRT stations in the city are constructed approximately one meter above ground level and are equipped with integrated floodgates to prevent water from entering the system. All stations are accessible, featuring elevators and ramps to accommodate all passengers. Additionally, stations typically have multiple exits, usually four, with some offering interchanges to other transit systems like the [[BTS Skytrain]], [[Airport Rail Link (Bangkok)|Airport Rail Link]], and commuter rail services. The passageways connecting these exits are spacious, with some even evolving into shopping areas. Within the stations, maps are displayed to guide passengers, showing local area details and exit locations.

As a safety measure, [[platform screen doors]] have been installed at stations. Uniformed security personnel and security cameras are stationed at all platforms to ensure passenger safety. The metro system operates 19 three-car metro trains, specifically of the [[Siemens Modular Metro]] type, consisting of two motor cars and a central trailer car.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.railway-technology.com/projects/bangkok-metro/ |title=Bangkok Metro, Thailand |website=Railway-Technology.com |access-date=2014-06-27}}</ref>

In an effort to utilize renewable energy, the Bangkok Expressway and Metro company has entered into a 25-year power purchase agreement with CK Power. This agreement aims to supply the mass transit system with 452 million kWh of electricity, primarily sourced from solar energy.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Vitale |first=Cat |date=30 August 2023 |title=Bangkok's MRT set to be solar powered |url=https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/other/bangkok-s-mrt-set-to-be-solar-powered/ar-AA1g01Ji? |access-date=2023-09-01 |website=MSN}}</ref>

==Ticketing== [[File:Ticket of Bangkok Metro.jpg|thumb|Round black token]] [[File:Bangkok MRT ticketing machine.jpg|thumb|Bangkok MRT ticketing machine on an MRT station]]

The ticketing system for the Blue and Purple Lines uses RFID contactless technology with round tokens issued for single trips and a contactless stored value card, the MRT Plus card, for frequent travellers. It is planned that a joint ticketing system will be set up<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.bangkokpost.com/learning/learning-news/566075/single-ticket-for-city-transport|title=Single ticket for city transport|website=Bangkok Post|access-date=2016-09-11}}</ref> so that passengers can use a single ticket on the MRT as well as on the [[BTS Skytrain|Skytrain]]. Multi-storey park & ride facilities are provided at [[Lat Phrao MRT station|Lat Phrao]] and [[Thailand Cultural Centre MRT station|Thailand Cultural Centre]]. Motorists who park their cars within station parking facilities are issued with additional contactless smartcards and they need to have them electronically stamped at their destination station.

Smart cards are available in two types: * A rechargeable card for distance-based fares: ** for adults, at the same rate as single fares ** for students, not over 23 years old, at 10% discount ** for children/elderly, not over 14 old and height between {{Cvt|91 and 120|cm}}, or not less than 60 old, each with 50% discount.

Children under 15 or whose height does not exceed 90 cm may ride for free. Reduced fares for older children and half price fares for the elderly also apply when buying a token at the booth.

From January 2022, MRT started accepting a new payment fare type for Blue Line and Purple Line via [[EMV]] [[contactless payment|contactless]] using [[credit card|credit]], [[debit card|debit]] and prepaid cards.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://metro.bemplc.co.th/EMV-Contactless?lang=en|title=MRT EMV Contactless|website=BEM|access-date=2022-08-02}}</ref>

The Yellow and Pink lines accept cash, EMV Contactless, and the [[Rabbit Card]].

==Current lines== {{see also|List of rapid transit stations in Bangkok}} The first line, the [[Blue Line (Bangkok)|Blue Line]], opened on 3 July 2004. It runs eastward from [[Tao Poon MRT station|Tao Poon Station]] in [[Bang Sue District]] along Kamphaeng Phet, Phahon Yothin and Lat Phrao Roads, then turns south following [[Ratchadaphisek Road]], then west following Rama IV Road to Hua Lamphong Station in [[Pathum Wan District]]. The second line, the [[Purple Line (Bangkok)|Purple Line]] opened on 6 August 2016. The 1.2 km missing link of the Blue Line between Bang Sue and Tao Poon, connecting the two lines opened on 11 August 2017. The first section of the Blue Line extension from Hua Lamphong via Tha Phra to Lak Song opened for full operation on 29 September 2019. The Pink and Yellow Lines opened in 2023. {| class="wikitable sortable" style="margin:auto;font-align:center;text-align:center;font-size:80%;"" !Line Name !Commencement !Last extension !Next extension ! colspan="2" |Terminus !Length (km) !Stations !Operator(s) !Daily Ridership (2024) |- ! colspan="10" |'''[[Rapid transit|Rapid Transit]]''' |- | style="background:#{{rcr|MRT|Blue}}" |'''[[Blue Line (Bangkok)|{{color|white|Blue Line}}]]''' |{{start date and age|2004|07|03|df=yes}} |{{start date and age|2019|12|23|df=yes}} |<abbr title="To be announced">''TBA''</abbr> |[[Tha Phra MRT station|Tha Phra]] |[[Lak Song MRT station|Lak Song]] |{{convert|46.91|km|mi|abbr=on}} |38 | rowspan="2" |[[Bangkok Expressway and Metro]] |424,397 |- | style="background:#{{rcr|MRT|Purple}}" |'''[[Purple Line (Bangkok)|{{color|white|Purple Line}}]]''' |{{start date and age|2016|08|06|df=yes}} | — |''{{start date and age|2029||df=yes}}'' |[[Khlong Bang Phai MRT station|Khlong Bang Phai]] |[[Tao Poon MRT station|Tao Poon]] |{{convert|20.92|km|mi|abbr=on}} |16 |66,934 |- ! colspan="10" |[[Monorail]] |- | rowspan="2" style="background:#{{rcr|MRT|Pink}}" |'''[[Pink Line (Bangkok)|{{color|white|Pink Line}}]]''' | rowspan="2" |{{start date and age|2023|11|21|df=yes}} | rowspan="2" | ''{{start date and age|2025|05|df=yes|20}}'' | rowspan="2" |— |[[Nonthaburi Civic Center MRT station|Nonthaburi Civic Centre]] |[[Min Buri MRT station|Min Buri]] | rowspan="2" |{{convert|36.55|km|mi|abbr=on}} | rowspan="2" |32 | rowspan="3" |[[Bangkok Mass Transit System]] | rowspan="2" |53,679 |- |[[Muang Thong Thani MRT station|Muang Thong Thani]] |Lake Muang Thong Thani |- | style="background:#{{rcr|MRT|Yellow}}" |'''[[Yellow Line (Bangkok)|{{color|black|Yellow Line}}]]''' |{{start date and age|2023|06|03|df=yes}} |{{start date and age|2023|06|19|df=yes}} | — |[[Lat Phrao MRT station|Lat Phrao]] |[[Samrong station|Samrong]] |{{convert|28.62|km|mi|abbr=on}} |23 |37,443 |- ! colspan="6" |Total |{{convert|133|km|mi|abbr=on}} |107 ! |582,453 |} ===[[Blue Line (Bangkok)|MRT Blue Line]]=== [[File:MRT-BLUELINE-IBL.jpg|thumb|right|First generation of [[MRT Blue Line|Blue Line]] rolling stock]]

The MRT Blue Line<ref name="CRLine" /> presently runs from [[Tha Phra MRT station|Tha Phra]] to [[Lak Song MRT station|Lak Song]] and has a carrying capacity of 40,000 people in each direction per hour. Similar to the [[BTS Skytrain|Skytrain]], the Metro uses trains supplied by [[Siemens Mobility|Siemens]] that travel up to {{Cvt|80|km/h}}. Passengers can connect to the [[BTS Skytrain|Skytrain]] at [[Si Lom MRT station|Si Lom]], [[Sukhumvit MRT station|Sukhumvit]] and [[Chatuchak Park MRT station|Chatuchak Park]] stations. The Blue Line has a large depot located on the large MRTA Headquarters in [[Huai Khwang District|Huai Khwang district]] and accessed via a spur line located between [[Phra Ram 9 MRT station|Phra Ram 9]] and [[Thailand Cultural Centre MRT station|Thailand Cultural Centre]] stations.

The 48-kilometer-long MRT Blue line will serve as a circle line for Bangkok's metro rail system, providing connections to all other major lines, including the [[SRT Red Lines]] and the [[Airport Rail Link (Bangkok)|Airport Rail Link]]. However the complete track does not form a circle, but rather a figure 6. So to ride the complete circle one has either to start at Tha Phra or change trains there.

The MRT Purple line is divided into two sections, the first 23 kilometer stage from [[Khlong Bang Phai MRT station|Khlong Bang Phai]] to [[Tao Poon MRT station|Tao Poon]], which opened on 6 August 2016, and a planned 19.8 kilometer southern extension from [[Tao Poon MRT station|Tao Poon]] – [[Phra Pradaeng MRT station|Phra Pradaeng]].

The Purple line currently serves travel demand between the northwestern suburbs of [[Bangkok]] in [[Nonthaburi Province]] to the mid north areas of Bangkok where it links with the [[Blue Line (Bangkok)|Blue line]]. Eventually, the line will link with the southern area of [[Thonburi]] in [[Phra Pradaeng District]], [[Samut Prakan Province]] with a southern extension. This extension will serve the new [[National Assembly (Thailand)|Thai parliament]] construction site at Kiak Kai intersection and will run along [[Samsen Road]], then passing through the historic old quarter of Bangkok [[Rattanakosin Island]] and many historical places in [[Dusit District|Dusit]] and [[Phra Nakhon District]] like the [[National Library of Thailand|national library]], Thewet market, Bang Lamphu, the [[Democracy Monument]], the [[Wat Saket|Golden Mount]], [[Phahurat]] near Chinatown. It then runs near the [[Memorial Bridge, Bangkok|Memorial Bridge]] over the river to [[Wongwian Yai]] roundabout before continuing south to [[Chom Thong District, Bangkok|Chom Thong]] and ends in [[Rat Burana District]].

===[[Yellow Line (Bangkok)|MRT Yellow Line]]=== [[File:Yellow Line at Chok Chai 4 Station 02.jpg|thumb|[[Innovia Monorail|Innovia Monorail 300]] rolling stock used on the [[MRT Yellow Line|Yellow Line]], approaching [[Chok Chai 4 MRT station|Chok Chai 4 station]]]]The 30.4 km long Yellow line has 23 stations. It was originally proposed to be an underground and elevated rapid transit line, but that plan has changed to be built as an elevated [[monorail]] line.

In December 2011, the MRTA was instructed by the MOT to divide the Yellow Line into two Phases for tender and construction purposes and to control land appropriation costs.<ref>{{cite news |date=27 December 2011 |script-title=th:แจ้งเกิดรถไฟฟ้า2สาย สุกำพลเครื่องร้อน |language=th |newspaper=ThanOnline |url=http://www.thanonline.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=99466:2-&catid=128:-real-estate-&Itemid=478 |access-date=2014-06-27}}</ref> In June 2012, the MRTA contracted consultants to undertake detailed designs of the Yellow Line.

The subsequent political turmoil of 2014 caused further delay. Thereafter, the coup of May 2014 resulted in a new military administration and the tender being deferred for 2014.

The MRTA tender was subsequently not released until mid-2016. In early December 2016, BSR Joint Venture (comprising [[BTS Group Holdings]], which owns 75%, Sino-Thai Engineering and Construction – STEC, and Ratchaburi Electricity Generation Holding – RATCH), won the bid for the project.

===MRT Purple Line South section=== {{Main|MRT Purple Line}} The planned southern extension from Tao Pun to Rat Burana will run south through Bangkok's old quarter from [[Tao Poon]] junction on a [[viaduct]]. It then will go into an underground structure along Sam Sen Road, passing the new [[National Assembly of Thailand|Thai parliament]] site, and transfers to the proposed [[SRT Red Lines|Red inner-city shortcut commuter]] at Sanghi intersection. It passes the [[National Library of Thailand|national library]] in [[Dusit District]] before it reaches [[Phra Nakhon District]] at Thewet Market.

The line turns east at Bang Lamphu and goes along the city moat to the south, with transfers possible to the [[MRT Orange Line]] at Ratchadamnoen Road near the [[Democracy Monument]]. It passes [[Wat Saket|Golden Mount]] before possible transfers to the extension of the Blue Line at Wang Burapha near [[Yaowarat Road]] in [[Chinatown, Bangkok|Chinatown]] and the [[Phahurat]] textile market.

The line crosses the Chao Phraya River near the [[Memorial Bridge (Thailand)|Memorial Bridge]] towards the [[Wongwian Yai]] roundabout in [[Thonburi]] on the west bank, with possible transfers to the [[SRT Red Lines|Dark Red Line commuter]] and to [[Wongwian Yai BTS Station|Wongwian Yai]]. It continues south to [[Chom Thong District, Bangkok|Chom Thong]], then on an elevated structure for {{convert|5.5|km}} and ends in [[Rat Burana District]], a short distance to the nearby [[Phra Pradaeng District|Phra Pradaeng]] suburban town in [[Samut Prakan Province]]. The total length will be about 23.6 km, including ten underground and seven elevated stations.

The Thai Cabinet was expected to approve the Purple Line Southern extension in mid 2017 with a tender due by the 2nd half of 2017.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2017-05-26 |title=B358bn rail projects expected to go ahead |url=http://www.bangkokpost.com/archive/b358bn-rail-projects-expected-to-go-ahead/1256406 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170626203307/http://www.bangkokpost.com/archive/b358bn-rail-projects-expected-to-go-ahead/1256406 |archive-date=2017-06-26 |access-date= |website=Bangkok Post}}</ref> On 25 July 2017, the Cabinet approved the 101 billion baht budget and tender for the extension<ref>{{cite news|url=https://mgronline.com/business/detail/9600000075739|script-title=th:ครม.ไฟเขียวรถไฟฟ้าม่วงใต้ 1.101 แสนล้าน "อาคม" จ่อชงอีก 4 สายครบโครงข่าย|date=25 July 2017|newspaper=[[Manager Online]]|access-date=21 February 2018|language=th|archive-url=https://megalodon.jp/2026-0429-1352-25/https://mgronline.com:443/business/detail/9600000075739|archive-date=29 April 2026|url-status=live}}</ref> but the tender was delayed until 2018 due to land acquisition issues.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2017-11-10 |title=Purple Line south link bid faces delay |url=https://www.bangkokpost.com/archive/purple-line-south-link-bid-faces-delay/1357647 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220407155050/https://www.bangkokpost.com/archive/purple-line-south-link-bid-faces-delay/1357647 |archive-date=2022-04-07 |access-date= |website=Bangkok Post}}</ref> There was a further delay to an early 2019 date as the tender was changed to a PPP tender.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Theparat |first=Chatrudee |date=2018-09-17 |title=ToR for slate of transport projects set for fast track |url=https://www.bangkokpost.com/thailand/general/1541274/tor-for-slate-of-transport-projects-set-for-fast-track |access-date=2025-04-05 |work=Bangkok Post |language=en}}</ref> However, a subsequent delay in finalising the PPP process resulted in a new tender date of April 2020<ref>Members meeting with MRTA planning division on 7 August 2019 at MTRA Headquarters</ref> but this has been further delayed with an expected tender by the end of 2020.<ref name="thaipost.net"/>

===[[Orange Line (Bangkok)|MRT Orange Line]]=== [[File:Future MRT Orange Line Platforms, TLCC Station.jpg|250px|thumb|The area prepared for the MRT Orange Line platforms at [[Thailand Cultural Centre MRT station]], interchange with Blue Line]] The Orange Line will start from Yaek Rom Klao station in Min Buri district as an elevated structure on Ramkhamhaeng Road (former Suka Phiban III Road), interchanging with the [[Pink Line (Bangkok)|Pink Line]] at [[Min Buri MRT station|Min Buri]] station from eastern suburb in and goes underground near Lam Sali intersection in [[Bang Kapi District]], also transfers to [[MRT Yellow Line]]. It continues southwest along Ramkhamhaeng Road, passing [[Rajamangala Stadium|Hua Mak Stadium]] and [[Ramkhamhaeng University]]. Then it turns to the west and crosses [[Pradit Manutham Road]] to the current MRT depot. Then it goes to [[Thailand Cultural Centre MRT station|Thailand Cultural Centre Station]], the alignment crosses over and transfers to the current [[MRT Blue Line]]. It continues via [[Din Daeng MRT station|Din Daeng]] housing estates and Bangkok City Hall 2 to [[Vibhavadi Rangsit Road]], Sam Liam Din Daeng Junction. Then turn left into [[Ratchaprarop Road]] towards [[Pratunam MRT station|Pratunam]] and turn right into Phetchaburi Road then interchange with BTS [[Sukhumvit Line]] at [[Ratchathewi MRT station|Ratchathewi Station]]. It continues along Larn Luang Road and Ratchadamnoen Road. Then it crosses the [[Chao Phraya River]] near [[Phra Pinklao Bridge]], passes [[Siriraj Hospital]] and goes along [[Bangkok Noi District|Bangkok Noi]] Rail line and terminates at [[Bang Khun Non MRT station|Bang Khun Non Station]], interchanges with [[MRT Blue Line]] again. The total length is 35.9 km.

This Line is divided into 2 sections * Eastern section from [[Thailand Cultural Centre MRT station|Thailand Cultural Centre]] – [[Yaek Rom Klao MRT station|Yaek Rom Klao]] (22.5 km). * Western section [[Bang Khun Non MRT station|Bang Khun Non]] – [[Thailand Cultural Centre MRT station|Thailand Cultural Centre]] (13.4 km)

The phase 1 Eastern section began construction in June 2017 with a planned 2024 opening.<ref name="Eastern section">{{cite news |last1=Theparat |first1=Chatrudee |date=12 January 2021 |title=Mass transit vow reaffirmed |url=https://www.bangkokpost.com/business/2049527/mass-transit-vow-reaffirmed |access-date=20 March 2021 |work=Bangkok Post}}</ref> The Phase 2 Western section extension from Thailand Cultural Centre to Bang Khun Non was released for tender on 3 July 2020 as a Public-Private Partnership project.<ref>{{cite news|title=MRT Orange Line extension tender|url=https://www.mrta.co.th/en/news/announcement_mrta/invitation-to-tender-public-private-partnership-mrt-orange-line-project-bang-khun-non-min-buri-suwinthawong-section/invitation-to-tender-public-private-partnership-mrt-orange-line-project-bang-khun-non-min-buri-suwinthawong-section|newspaper=MRTA Website|date=3 July 2020|archive-date=14 July 2020|access-date=13 July 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200714152422/https://www.mrta.co.th/en/news/announcement_mrta/invitation-to-tender-public-private-partnership-mrt-orange-line-project-bang-khun-non-min-buri-suwinthawong-section/invitation-to-tender-public-private-partnership-mrt-orange-line-project-bang-khun-non-min-buri-suwinthawong-section|url-status=dead}}</ref>

When fully completed, the line will be 35.9-km long, mostly underground, with 29 [[Metro station|stations]] (7 elevated stations for 8.9 km and other 22 underground stations for 27 km).

===[[Brown Line (Bangkok)|MRT Brown Line]]=== The 22.1 km long Brown line is under study by the OTP. It is proposed to run from Khae Rai, [[Nonthaburi Province|Nonthaburi]] to [[Bueng Kum District|Bueng Kum]] with 20 stations and be a [[monorail]] line.

The line was originally proposed as the Gold Line by the Pheu Thai party for the Bangkok Governors election held in March 2013. This was in response to objections by [[Kasetsart University]] to long proposed Expressway extensions in the area. The line would essentially have replaced the need to build an elevated Expressway.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.bangkokpost.com/news/transport/335419/kasetsart-backs-light-rail-move |title=Kasetsart backs light rail move |newspaper=Bangkok Post |date=12 February 2013 |access-date=2014-06-27}}</ref> However, the Pheu Thai candidate did not win the Bangkok Governor election and the Gold Line was dropped with the Deputy Minister of Transport stating that land appropriation costs were too high.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.bangkokpost.com/news/transport/349823/city-expressway-plan-redrawn-to-go-north |title=City expressway plan redrawn to go north |newspaper=Bangkok Post |date=14 May 2013 |access-date=2014-06-27}}</ref> Subsequently, OTP has reworked the Gold Line proposal into a new Brown Line following much the same route. As of June 2013, the route was under preliminary study by OTP.<ref>{{cite web | url-access=limited |archive-url = https://ghostarchive.org/iarchive/facebook/133689516735512/381668901937571 |archive-date = 2022-04-30| url = https://www.facebook.com/kucityfanpage/posts/381668901937571 |title = ศูนย์ข่าวชุมชน ม.เกษตรศาสตร์ on Facebook |website=[[Facebook]]}}{{cbignore}}{{User-generated source|certain=yes|date=March 2022}}</ref> Public hearings on the Brown line were held in 2017.

Although, there was much public support for building the MRT Brown line, public opposition to the N2 expressway remained high. OTP intends to submit the project for Cabinet approval by the end of October 2018.<ref>{{cite news |title=Monorail plan heads to cabinet |url=https://www.bangkokpost.com/news/transport/1527206/monorail-plan-heads-to-cabinet |newspaper=Bangkok Post |date=24 August 2018}}</ref> In early June 2019, the MRTA Board approved the investment plan for the Brown Line and integrated design with the N2 Expressway conducted by EXAT.<ref name="khaosod.co.th"/> The project is expected to be tendered in 2024.

This line should not be confused with the original 2004 13 km MRT Brown Line proposal from [[Bang Kapi MRT station|Bang Kapi]] to [[Min Buri MRT station|Min Buri]]. This was subsequently merged in 2009 into an extended [[MRT Orange Line]].

=== Impact Spur Line ===

== Accidents and incidents == On 17 January 2005, just after 09:15, an empty train returning to the depot collided with a peak-hour train filled with passengers at the [[Thailand Cultural Centre MRT station]]. 140 people were hurt, most of whom sustained only minor injuries and the entire Metro network was shut down for two weeks.

After initial investigations, it was found that the empty train had run into problems shortly before the accident, grinding to a halt on a curve leading to the depot. The driver applied the train brake and was waiting to be towed to the maintenance centre close to the [[Thailand Cultural Centre MRT station|Thailand Cultural Centre station]].

A rescue train was attempting to connect to the stalled train when the driver was told to release the brake even though coupling had not been successful. It was then that the empty train began to roll backwards at a speed of ten metres per second and into the other train, which was carrying passengers. Therefore, it was believed that the incident was caused by negligence due to insufficient training of operation staff.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/4180109.stm |title=Thai subway shut for safety probe |publisher=BBC News |date=17 January 2005 |access-date=2010-05-13}}</ref> This accident caused damage to both trainsets, with heavily damaged areas limited to the two cars that collided. From the extent of the damage, investigators estimated the collision speed to be around 60 km/h. However, one train, which was rebuilt from the repair of the minor-damaged cars, was already fitted for operation at the end of 2006 and the remaining one was still under heavy repair until mid of 2007; it was released into service in October 2007. The cost resulting from the accident might be a much higher figure than BMCL quoted, and it was expected to be at least 400 million baht, which was totally insured by a local insurance company.

The Metro resumed full operation on 1 February 2005, and passenger numbers soon rose back to pre-crash levels, partly due to a temporary promotional fare scheme that allowed passengers to travel any distance on the MRT for only ten baht (~US$0.33).

== Ridership == The first few years of operations saw less than forecast ridership, but pax numbers grew gradually over time. After the opening of the [[Tao Poon MRT station|Tao Poon]] interchange station between [[MRT Blue Line|Blue Line]] and [[MRT Purple Line|Purple Line]] in mid-August 2017, ridership immediately increased especially on the Purple Line. In September 2017, BEM stated that average daily ridership of the Blue Line had increased from 340,000 to 360,000 after the opening. The Purple line ridership significantly increased from 33,000 to nearly 50,000.<ref>{{cite news |title=Purple Line use up 47% since 'missing link' completed |url=http://www.bangkokpost.com/news/transport/1320863/purple-line-use-up-47-since-missing-link-completed |newspaper=Bangkok Post |location=Bangkok |date=8 September 2017 }}</ref> In August 2018, the MRTA Deputy Governor stated that daily ridership for the Purple Line had increased to 60,000 each weekday.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2018-08-27 |title=ขนคนป้อนรถไฟฟ้าสีม่วง "ผู้ว่านนท์" ไฟเขียวสมาร์ทบัสเชื่อมตั๋วร่วมรฟม. |url=https://www.thansettakij.com/content/309472 |access-date=2025-04-05 |website=thansettakij |language=th}}</ref> After the opening of the Blue Line extension to Lak Song on 29 September 2019, daily ridership increased to 400,000 for the Blue line and 70,000 for the Purple line.<ref name="ReferenceA">{{Cite web |last=ข่าวสด |date=2019-09-30 |title=เปิดหวูดรถไฟฟ้าสายสีน้ำเงินส่วนต่อขยายช่วงหัวลำโพง-บางแค - รฟม. ระบุ 2 เดือ |url=https://www.khaosod.co.th/economics/news_2933591 |access-date=2025-04-05 |website=ข่าวสด |language=th}}</ref> Ridership decreased significantly during the [[COVID-19 pandemic|outbreak of coronavirus]] in Thailand.
