	Bangkok Subway
		This is my own graphic of the subway route, showing the renamed stations and the interchanges to the BTS Skytrain.
		Inside the new subway train is very similar to the Skytrain, except for the blue seats and far less straps to hold on to, and none in the door areas, something of a mistake in my opinion.
		Personally, I think the attention the subway is getting is a little unfair as the Skytrain suffered similar minor problems when it started, and occasionally still does, although they have never crashed it and injured people.........
