Pink Line Extension nears completion, free trial rides in June
The Pink Line extension to Muang Thong Thani is 97.81% complete. Trial runs begin in May, with free public rides in June before full service starts on July 19.
The Mass Rapid Transit Authority of Thailand (MRTA) has reported progress on the Pink Line monorail extension from Si Rat Station to Muang Thong Thani.
As of the end of April 2025, civil works are 97.01% complete, and rail system installation is 99.41% complete, bringing the overall progress to 97.81%.
Northern Bangkok Monorail Co., Ltd. (NBM)—the project concessionaire for the main Pink Line (Khae Rai – Min Buri)—has begun testing train movements and system integration along the extension. The testing route runs from the operational Muang Thong Thani Station (PK10) to the new extension stations: IMPACT Muang Thong Thani (MT01) and Lake Muang Thong Thani (MT02).
The initial system tests are expected to last 1–2 months, followed by a trial run in May, simulating actual operations. A free public trial service is planned for late June, with full commercial operations scheduled to begin on July 19, 2025. Fares will range from 15 to 22 baht, and the line is set to join the 20-baht flat fare scheme by September 2025.
Like the main Pink Line, the extension features a monorail system, enhancing the urban rail network in Bangkok and surrounding areas. It aims to encourage public transit use, ease traffic on Chaeng Watthana Road, and help reduce PM 2.5 pollution.
