In order to obtain the required data, two surveys, namely the traffic count survey and the vehicle occupancy survey, are conducted at road sections crossing the screen lines in the Study area. Survey Method ▪ Traffic Count Survey The vehicular traffic volume was recorded at each survey station by a video shooting. After recording, surveyors shall count the number of cars by every 30 minutes by vehicle types and directions. The classification of vehicles followed the one used for the cordon line survey (i.e., 1. bicycle, 2.motorcycle, 3.tuktuk, 4.car, 5.taxi, 6.large bus, 7.mini bus, 8.van bus, 9.songthaew, 10.school, company, and tourist bus, 11.pickup and delivery truck (4 wheeler), 12.truck (6-10 wheeler), 13.Trailer, 14.others). At least 10 video shooting sets are required to finish the survey in the schedule. ▪ Occupancy Survey The Occupancy Survey will be conducted in two parts: The Occupancy Survey for Vehicle on Road and the Occupancy Survey Mass Transit. Occupancy Survey for Vehicle on Road - Normal Vehicles: The number of passengers of vehicles to be chosen at random was observed and recorded by vehicle type and direction for every 30 minutes.
The Study for the Development of a Macro Simulation Model for forecasting the demand for rail travel and the development of a rail mass transit network Department of Rail Transport in Bangkok Metropolitan Region Phase 2 (M-MAP2) Final Report 2-124 - Air-con Bus: Number of passengers of an air-con bus shall be counted at the nearest bus stop from each survey station. - Van: In terms of occupancy of a van, van drivers usually leave when the passengers of a van become full, so the Study that passengers in a van are full. Occupancy Survey Mass Transit - Conduct a survey of the number of passengers using mass transit systems at each station in the survey area Base on M-MAP2 Blueprint survey, there were 66 stations at the survey points, divided into 43 east-west lines and 23 north-south lines, and another 8 train stations in the Occupancy Survey Mass Transit, as shown in the Table 2.3.3 8, Table 2.3.3 9 and Table 2.3.3-10 respectively.

The Silom Line Extension Section 3 (Bang Wa -Taling Chan) is under the management of the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) by the Office of Traffic and Transport as the project owner. In the process of accelerating the push to fill the travel network in the Bangkok area west coast to complete. The project area is in Taling Chan area and Phasi Charoen District, totaling 11 Khwaeng. This area currently has housing estates, food courts, and a large number of shops. But found that there is still a lack of public transport to connect the journey causing people to travel by private cars Therefore, there was a problem of traffic congestion on Ratchaphruek Road. especially during rush hours and holidays. If the BTS SkyTrain Extension from Bang Wa Station to Taling Chan could be built, it would greatly alleviate the traffic problems in this area.

It is expected to facilitate people’s travel and motivate more people to use public transport system. The study proposes 2 systems: Bus rapid transit (BRT) 3 lines and shuttle bus 3 lines. BRT (Bangkok Bus Rapid Transit system) is a bus system a little different from the classic buses in Bangkok. It is much more reliable, convenient and faster than regular bus services as it has its own lane and therefore is not impacted by traffic jams. BRT can be built quickly with low budget of construction. It can contain 4,000 – 8,000 passengers per hour per route. This system will operate in 3 lines: ▪ Line 1: Thammasat University station (SRT red line) - Supreme Artist Hall (13.63 kilometers) ▪ Line 2: Rangsit station (SRT red line) - Pathum Thani City Hall (12.05 kilometers) ▪ Line 3: Rangsit station (SRT red line) - Rajamangala University of Technology Thanyaburi (16.22 kilometers) Given that line 2 and line 3 link with each other, they will be developed together which divided into 2 phases: phase 1 Pathum Thani - Khlong Nueng, and phase 2 Khlong Nueng – Thanyaburi. The ticket fares are expected to be 10 baht throughout the line. Another system is shuttle bus or van which will also operate in 3 lines: ▪ Line 4: Khlong Luang Road (Highway 3214) - Rangsit-Nakhon Nayok Road ▪ Line 5: Lam Luk Ka Road - Rangsit-Nakhon Nayok Road ▪ Line 6: Khu Khot BTS station – Kanchanaphisek Road There will be a parking building for SRT red line at Rangsit station and BTS green line at Km.6 station and Lam Luk Ka station in the future.

In the future, it is expected to have more 15 pier-BTS links and newer 27canal routes. Apart from that, water public transport also needs other physical improvements such as canal encroachment, floodgate problem, and bridges that are transport’s obstruction. Some problems come from the ferry including loud noise from the furry, emission of dark smoke, and safety problem during crowded period. Furthermore, there are also various troubles about ferry piers i.e. damaged piers, lacking of facilities at the piers, insufficient brightness, unsafety, no direction signs, and far travel connection point. In the pilot phase, the project plans to develop Khlong Mahasawat for 28 kilometers in total distance – the west side which links with Tha Chin River for 20 kilometers and the east side which link with Khlong Bangkok Noi for 8 kilometers. There will be travel connection point with the SRT light red line at Taling Chan station and Bangbumru station to facilitate passengers and mitigate traffic problem at Borommaratchachonnani Road. This project also considers about collaboration with private-sector company (PPP). Source: Office of Transport and Traffic Policy and Planning.

Originally located in front of BITEC Bangna Moved to a Sanphawut Junction. Because if they are still at the same point, they will have to make a connecting path that looks like a spiral staircase from underground to connect with the Burapha Withi Expressway, which Japan considers the design and construction too difficult. And to show up at the Sanphawut Junction will not have to do the elevation again. but will appear on the flat Bangna-Trad Road instead, then choose to take the expressway in the next tollgate instead. Which the OTP has given the problem to MLIT to see if it will show up at the Sanphawut Intersection, will there be any traffic obstacles? And how will the car from the underpass come up on the level, how will the detour or the way up from the underground be designed? Because when there is construction, people must be affected as little as possible. Compared to the original point in front of BITEC Bangna. Subsequently, MLIT made an answer letter to OTP, saying that it would like to send a consultant to actually visit the area to explore the problem. On the other side, Narathiwat Ratchanakarin Road. There has not been any proposal to change the up-down point. Still at the area near the Chalerm Mahanakorn expressway Tha Ruea - Dao Khanong section, Rama 3 Road, which must coordinate with BMA to improve the landscape of Khlong Chong Nonsi in the middle of Narathiwat Ratchanakarin Road. In addition, MLIT will propose a tunnel under the river. Shallower Because it was originally placed to be 1 time the diameter of the tunnel. The environmental impact should not be a problem. Because although the route of the expressway will pass Khung Bang Kachao but the nature of the project is underground. And the Bang Kachao area only prohibits construction on the ground level. From the project valuation and investment style, MLIT estimated at 84 billion yen or 24,093.69 million baht, which still has to wait for the calculation results to come out again. As for the investment model, there are two types of investments being studied, (1) being a

However, due to the fact that there has not been a unit to manage the Central Revenue Management Center in the past. That operates concretely in the use of " Mangmoom card", therefore, still encounters some problems in joining the system. In addition, government agencies and various mass transit operators have not had business negotiations. In determining and promulgating a common fare structure, which will be used as the fare rate for all mass transit systems. Mass transit systems in Bangkok Metropolitan Region participating in the common ticketing system OTP has therefore developed a project to supervise the management of the common ticketing system. to be used as a guideline for the complete oversight of common ticket management and maximum efficiency. The idea was to study to formulate a plan to govern the management of the common ticket system in accordance with the concept of developing a common ticket system and an open-loop system payment model based on the use of Account Based Ticketing (ABT) and system support, EMV in fare payment Including the use and payment of other services outside the transport sector (Non-Transit). By studying the plan to regulate the management of the common ticket system will bring the key results to be used for future operations. namely 1) Guidelines for developing a joint ticket database system in Thailand to support the payment of fares by Mangmoom card, MRT Plus card, MRT card, rabbit card and other cards in the form of Account Based Ticketing (ABT), as well as in the future can be developed from a closed-loop system to an open-loop-based service in accordance with future technology changes, including how to use and pay with Other services outside the transport sector (NON-TRANSIT) 2) Clear mechanisms or plans for overseeing the administration of the common ticketing system and fair to all parties involved, which will help the development of the system and its use smoothly and efficiently in the long term. 3) Policy and system of the common fare structure of the mass transit system that can attract people to use the mass transit system efficiently and sustainably as well as the fees of the common ticket system that are fair to the service providers and is not a burden to service users. 4) Government funding models and financing mechanisms to offset revenue from shared fares. and support the development and operation of the common ticketing system in a transparent and fair manner. 5) Draft law common ticket system management, provide income compensation financing and the provision of travel information to be able to meet the conditions and needs of service users and service providers efficiently.
