BEM Launches 'Step for Bag' Campaign for Car Free Day
Bangkok Expressway and Metro (BEM) is encouraging MRT passengers to walk 2,200 steps on Car Free Day to receive a limited-edition mini bag and seeds.
In celebration of Car Free Day, Bangkok Expressway and Metro (BEM) has announced a special initiative titled 'Step for Bag' to promote sustainable travel and physical activity among MRT passengers. According to a report by Thai Post, the campaign invites commuters to participate by walking a total of 2,200 steps.
Participants who complete the required step count will be rewarded with a mini bag, which also includes a packet of seeds. This initiative aims to align with the global Car Free Day movement, encouraging residents and visitors to reduce their reliance on private vehicles in favor of public transportation and active movement.
For travelers and residents in Bangkok, this event serves as a reminder of the city's ongoing efforts to promote eco-friendly commuting habits. While the campaign highlights the benefits of walking and using the MRT, those interested in participating should check the official BEM or MRT social media channels for specific station locations and timeframes, as these details were not explicitly outlined in the initial announcement. It remains to be confirmed if the supply of bags is limited to specific stations or if the promotion will be available across the entire network throughout the day.
