The Mass Rapid Transit Authority (MRTA) plans to submit the Pink and Yellow line electric train projects to the cabinet for approval later this month and sign their construction contracts early next month. The work on the Pink and Yellow lines will be carried out under the Private-Public Partnership net cost model, he added. STEC managing director Wallop Rungkitworasathien said his company will focus on design and construction work, with the former likely drawn up within six months. The MRTA indicated earlier that it had drafted plans to develop the land around both lines. Transport Minister Arkhom Termpittayapaisith said earlier the MRTA will ask the cabinet in June to approve three more electric rail line projects.
