Pink, Orange lines 'priority' By Watcharapong Thongrung

The Transport Ministry will speed up the plan to construct the Pink Line and Orange Line mass-transit systems.
Transport Minister
Sophon Saram
yesterday said he was giving top priority to the construction
of the two lines.
He said the Pink Line was important as it would run past the Government Centre in Chaeng Wattana Road, while the Orange Line would ease traffic jams along its route.
The Pink Line will run for 29.9 kilometres between Pak Kret in Nonthaburi and Min Buri, while the Orange Line will run for 32km from Bang Bamru to Min Buri.
Sophon said the ministry would submit the master plan for the greater
Bangkok rail-track mass-transit system - featuring 12 routes - for Cabinet consideration next month.
He said he had ordered the
Office
of Transport and Traffic Policy and Planning to speedily adjust the details
of the master plan.
"I have already asked the
office to prioritise which lines should be constructed first, but I insist that the Pink and Orange lines are very important, " he added.
If the Cabinet approves the mass-transit master plan, he will order the Mass Rapid Transit Authority
of Thailand to move the budget
of Bt400 million originally allocated for the study
of the extension
of the Blue Line to finance the study
of the Pink and Orange lines instead.
He said the government should also hasten the project for the
Bangkok Mass Transit Authority to lease 4, 000 NGV buses, in order to complement the creation
of a Greater
Bangkok mass-transit system and improve the capital's overall transport network.
Meanwhile, the
State Railway of Thailand will open the bidding documents for the construction
of the Red Line's Bang Sue-Rangsit section this month.
Construction
of the Red Line's Bang Sue-Taling Chan has already begun.
The Purple Line running from Bang Sue-Bang Yai is at the bidding stage and construction is expected to commence in October.
