To combat the notorious traffic congestion on Bangkok’s Samsen Road, exacerbated by ongoing construction near Krung Thon Bridge, the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) has introduced a trial feeder bus service.

The electric buses, featuring air conditioning and a capacity of up to 35 passengers, aim to alleviate traffic by reducing the number of vehicles crossing the bridge.



The service is particularly tailored to students, providing an alternative transportation option for their daily commute.

Operating during peak hours from Monday to Friday, the feeder bus schedule runs from 6 AM to 9 AM and 15:20 PM to 20:00 PM. Bangkok residents can conveniently catch the bus at any of the following six stops:



Office Mate Sirithorn branch
Kuakarun Faculty of Nursing, Navamindradhiraj University
Soi Samsen 13
Saint Gabriel’s Alumni Association
Soi Ratchawithi 19
Tang Hua Seng shopping mall
This initiative by the BMA aims to improve traffic flow and provide a hassle-free transportation option for students, ultimately reducing congestion on Samsen Road. (PRD)
