Bangkok BTS - SkyTrain Guide
 The
BTS SkyTrain began operation on December 5th,1999 , providing one of the
safest, most comfortable and convenient ways to get around Bangkok. In
service since 1999, it has transformed the face of public transportation
in the Thai capital, for the first time offering both residents and visitors
a comfortable ride through central Bangkok - lifting commuters above the
chronic congestion, noise and pollution of the streets below.
Our modern electrified trains transport Bangkok's commuters in wide air-conditioned
cars, saving them time with quick, reliable service. The BTS SkyTrain's
high-capacity operating system ensures almost no breakdowns and a virtual
100% punctuality. Each train can carry over 1,000 passengers while a similar
number of people would use 800 cars, making the BTS Skytrain the most
environmentally friendly mass transit system in Thailand.
Currently there are two routes, the Sukhumvit Line and the Silom Line.
They cover much of the central city and its many commercial, residential
and tourist areas, with extensions planned to outlying areas. The trains
run daily between 6:00 am and 12:00 midnight with frequent service throughout
the day, increased during rush hours. The fare is based on the distance
traveled.
