This project is part of the MOVE business plan, in which the Company is proficient since it has been operating continuously for more than 20 years through the BTS SkyTrain project, currently expanding to cover a total distance of 135 km., as well as developing new routes, such as the Pink Line Project Khae Rai – Min Buri and the Yellow Line Project Lat Phrao – Samrong.
