Relocation of the Mor Chit bus station is cancelled
Posted in News from Thailand, Traffic and transport
Tags: Bangkok, bus station, Mor Chit
Mor Chit bus station will not move to Rangsit in Pathum Thani. The move would cost 2 billion baht and the Thai Railways (SRT), owner of the land, cannot afford that.
President Amnat of Transport Co Ltd, the government company that provides inter-provincial bus transport, announced this yesterday. The relocation plan has been called off by Transport Minister Ormsin because of the impact on passengers and the potential cost.
Tour buses and minivans continue to depart from Mor Chit, but the area used by the bus company is being reduced from 75 to 50 rai by the SRT.
The ambitious plans of the SRT for the area around Mor Chit remain. For example, there must be a new central station for future lines and the area will serve as a hub for Asean. A new terminal is also being built for interprovincial buses. There will be bus stops for minivans opposite the Chatuchak market.
The costs for these plans are estimated at 2 billion baht.

Tribute to Transport Minister Ormsin.
Before you make plans, it seems to me that you look at who uses the bus terminal, so the end users and those are the passengers. Finally it is recognized that it would be bad if you arrive from the north/northeast or depart from Rangsit, 20 km further north than now. Bad because it puts most passengers at extra cost and requires extra travel time and transfer time to have to go to a location that is remote for most of them.
Now Mr Prayut for nuisance? Victory Monument has closed to all minivans, you need to go to Mor Chit for a connection with the BTS with the minivan (from Hua Hin in any case).
They will drop you in front of the main entrance of this bus station which is 2 km away from the Mor Chit BTS station.
And figure out how to get there
Walking is not an option, too complicated and too far with luggage.
Then it turns out that the only solution is to take a motorbike taxi, which (partly at least) in the opposite direction of the driving direction, will eventually bring you to the BTS station.
I did that this week , on my way to the embassy in the pouring monsoon with my stuff on the back in one hand and holding onto a brace with the other in the slalom to the BTS !!
Why do the Lieutenant Governors never even think about the adverse consequences of their new measures and then come up with a suitable solution?
It doesn't even cross their mind.
Oh, oh, how customer-friendly we are here in this country.
if you come back from a place like Hua Hin na Mo Chit then you can take the regular service costs 6 bath (no arcio, costs 11 bath but air con) is very easy to find on Mo Chit line 509 or 71 I thought there are signs for it the buses only ask if he stops at BTS Mo Chit because I've already had it that he didn't stop there while I was on the good bus I thought. Then get off BTS Mo Chit and buy ticket where you are going. Everything is easy, but not with 3 or 4 suitcases, then you take a taxi to your destination in Bangkok.
Good luck with it next time.

Yes, we should be happy that this is not happening!
Now that the minibuses are no longer allowed to leave to/from the Victory Monument, passengers are massively hunted for extra costs and travel time when they have to enter the city center (the free shuttle buses are not a reasonable alternative because of the type of city buses without AC).
For example, from the bus terminal Mor Chit to the BTS you better take a taxi: costs 50-70 baht.
(by-the-way: it is now very quiet around the VM. The companies have a drop in turnover of more than 50%. The sidewalks are empty; all street vendors have left).
The drivers have apparently forgotten that this is public transport. Traffic measures to limit the crowds in the city center should be aimed better at the private car.
