“Songkhla welcomes new technology to develop the province in ways that conserve energy and the environment,” Doladech said. “Because every car on the Sky Track has a lithium battery, cars can be added during peak periods and taken away when they’re not needed. This saves energy and operating costs and the environment.”Niphon thanked the private sector for its interest in “investing and bringing modern technology for mass transportation to Hat Yai while conserving the environment”. “With tourism and the airport expanding, mass transport that provides convenience is important,” he said. “Each car can go along the normal traffic lanes as the poles and the rail are not too big, so they won’t affect normal traffic.”
