Comments on: Video of the BRT Buses in Bangkok http://www.mythailandblog.com/2010/05/video-of-the-brt-buses-in-bangkok/ Pictures and Video taken on an iPhone in Thailand Fri, 18 Nov 2011 13:13:47 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3 By: Scorecard http://www.mythailandblog.com/2010/05/video-of-the-brt-buses-in-bangkok/comment-page-1/#comment-721 Scorecard Fri, 04 Jun 2010 03:17:44 +0000 http://www.mythailandblog.com/?p=744#comment-721 1. Thanks for the great videos, quickly giving good perspectives. 2. The concept is good but it's not new, there is a similar system operating in Jakarta (at least 10 years) and in Adelaide Australia for maybe 35 years, much of which is above ground and is excelletn in terms of much lower investment costs compared to light rail (BTS type) systems. Plus I understand that the concept has been in place in numerous European cities for decades. However any improvement in public transport in Bangkok is indeed welcome, 4. Given that it's not new technology I'm shocked that the local designers could not copy or invent some technology which makes it much easier for the bus to approach the station. 1.

Looks fabulous. Poor drivers though, looks like such a narrow slot to navigate at the stations. Amazing Thailand! Wow, I had not heard of the BRT. Looks fabulous.

It will be very frustrating having to watch painfully slow drivers try to make it down the narrow approach. do you expect there to be many incidents of drivers going over the barrier and into the car lane? funny how slow he approaches the bus stop!

do you expect there to be many incidents of drivers going over the barrier and into the car lane?

At the moment it is a test run. They will start charging 10 baht per ride on 1st September 2010. At the moment it is a test run.

Can't wait to get on one! How much will they charge it, when they start charging? I can't believe they actually built a dedicated lane for it! That's like a train system, eh?

Your clip is very easy to understand. I hope to try the BRT when I am back in my home town. Thank you for your effort. Your clip is very easy to understand.
