Railways, mass transportation, roads and expressways are side by side with condos and housing estates, with no regard to city planning. In many parts of the city, roads have been expanded while the pavements are shrunk, to serve the rise in the number of cars, of course resulting from inefficient public transportation. Today, Bangkok commuters have four lines of electric trains running in the city, with many more under construction, and a few more already approved and in the pipeline. If every rail line had been together in the same city development masterplan, such a problem wouldn't have occurred. However, it was fortunate enough for Bangkok commuters that the MRTA is aware of the gap beforehand, and crafts a solution before construction begins.
