Feasibility studies for a 22km Brown Line monorail from Khae Rai to Lam Sali with an accompanying expressway will be complete by June, according to Office of Transport and Traffic Policy and Planning (OTP). The government has ordered the OTP to study the Brown Line monorail and the accompanying expressway. “We are trying to push for the Brown Line to be placed in the first master plan, which will require a 2010-2029 completion date.”The Brown Line monorail, he said, will have 18 stations. They are the MRT Purple Line (Tao Poon-Khlong Bang Phai), the SRT Red Line (Bang SueRangsit), the Green Line extensions (Mo Chit-Khu Khot), the MRT Orange Line (Thailand Cultural Centre-Min Buri) and MRT Yellow Line monorail (Lat Phrao-Samrong) and Grey Line monorail (Watcharapol-Tha Phra). “The Brown Line will most likely use a monorail or a light rail system, to save space along large roads,” Mr Chaiwat said.
