	Asia Times: Bangkok skytrain derailed before departure, skeptics say
		The skytrain is the first of several mass transit projects planned for the city to be completed.
		On the environmental front, critics of the skytrain system have long argued that the massive steel and concrete structure is likely to trap polluted air underneath and exacerbate noise pollution in its vicinity.
		Now that the skytrain system has finally been completed, their criticism is being borne out by an increasing chorus of complaints from shopkeepers and residents near the skytrain's 25 stations.

	The Skytrain
		Bangkok's Skytrain (รถไฟฟ้า) started operating in December 1999 and, for the areas it goes to at least, is an extremely useful way of getting about.
		While the Siam station is undoubtedly the hub of the skytrain, the stations at Asoke and Sala Daeng are also main stations due to being interchange stations with the subway.
		Long-planned extensions to the skytrain route sadly appear to be completely stalled for now as a result of political interests and an effort by the government to force the nationalisation of the skytrain.

		Bangkok's Skytrain (rot fai fah in Thai) started operating in December 1999 and, for the areas it goes to at least, is an extremely useful way of getting about.
		However, the skytrain is a better option during times of particularly heavy traffic (rainy season downpours and / or rush hour).
		There are, in theory, plans to extend the routes of the Skytrain and construct an additonal subway system but it will be at least 3 years before they're implemented, and it's somewhat debatable whether it will ever happen unless BTS can turn a profit soon.

	Bangkok's Mass Transit: Financing the "Mega" Projects
		During the 1980's Bangkok's population increased from 8 million to almost 16 million, a 50 percent increased that has produced some of the most severe traffic congestion and related air pollution problems of any city in the world.
		The railway was to enter Bangkok from the north and the joint rail road system runs north-south as well as east-west across the city.
		As Bangkok's $ 8 billion mass transit program demonstrates, paths to fully implementing large scale privatized infrastructure are complex and carry significant risks to potential investors, risks which must be fully examined and allocated in ways appropriate for all parties, both public and private.

	Bangkok's Skytrain: On the Right Track: ThingsAsian
		Before the Skytrain started rolling in December 1999, you couldn't use the verb "to rocket" to describe public transport in Bangkok.
		Before the Skytrain entered service, getting to the weekend market involved a cheap but grueling bus journey, or a taxi ride as endless as it was expensive.
		Roofed by the skytrain tracks, many city streets have become tunnels of noise and smog that at times take on a surreal quality reminiscent of the street scenes in the movie Blade Runner.

		The Skytrain operates from 6:00 am to midnight and is simple to use - just pay for a ticket at the automated kiosks located in every station.
		Still, Bangkok taxis are more numerous and much less costly that in most other cities and often preferable late at night when there's relatively little traffic and your hotel and/or destination aren't right at a Skytrain station.
		There are major docks near the Bangkok Marriott Spa, the Peninsula, Royal Orchid Sheraton/The Oriental and the Shangri-la. If you take a trip early in the morning or in the late afternoon you will run into the hordes of people who use the boats to commute to/from work.

	TELentice turns Bangkok Skytrain stations into a multimedia information hub : FUJITSU Australia
		One of the major challenges facing Thailand's Skytrain operator today is to turn its stations into an information hub that can deliver dynamic, decision-influencing messages at the right time to the right groups among the almost 470,000 passengers who use the system daily.
		This network, located on the platforms of all 11 major BTS stations, is the world's first dynamic digital advertising medium to be located on the platforms of a public mass transportation system.
		There are also major benefits for advertisers: third-party advertising agencies and brand owners can use the system to advertise and promote their products and services, and all commercial advertising on broadcast TV can be reinforced inside BTS stations by being displayed through Fujitsu plasma screens.

		Intended to relieve the city's notorious traffic congestion, the elevated railway known as Skytrain opened in Bangkok in early 2000.
