BMA to demolish Saphan Taksin Station, put in moving walkways
To relieve the problematic bottleneck on the Skytrain's Silom Line, the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) plans to demolish Saphan Taksin Station and install additional tracks.
BMA Deputy Governor Amorn Kijchawengkul said Tuesday that moving walkways would be installed from Surasak Station to the river, and the area underneath Taksin station would be turned into a public park and multi-purpose area.
Executives of the BMA and Bangkok Mass Transit System (BTSC) have agreed they would install the additional track on the area used by the Saphan Taksin station platforms. They would also build a 700-metre skywalk with moving walkways to connect Surasak Station to the Chao Phraya River piers.
