The Purple Line electric railway linking Bangkok and Nonthaburi province has seen many projects sprout up along the route. WICHAN CHAROENKIATPAKULNonthaburi's new city plan, which will bar the construction of low-rise buildings on small roads, should help drain the existing condo supply along the Purple Line linking Nonthaburi and Bangkok, says the Nonthaburi Real Estate Association. President Lertmongkol Waravenuch said some regulations related to construction in the new Nonthaburi city plan, expected to take effect in mid-2018, will become more stringent. Floor area ratio in the new city plan will also be reduced from 10:1 all over the city to lower than 8:1, depending on zones in the province. "The mass transit fare for those living near the line and working in the city remains high," Mr Lertmongkol said.
