Department of Highways Launches Shuttle Services to Mitigate Bangkok Flood Impact
The Thai Department of Highways has introduced six shuttle bus routes to assist commuters affected by flooding in Bangkok.
On September 27, 2026, the Thailand Government Public Relations Department announced that the Department of Highways has initiated a shuttle bus service to support the public during ongoing flood conditions in Bangkok. The initiative features six specific routes designed to connect commuters with existing public transportation networks, aiming to alleviate travel disruptions caused by inundated roads.
For residents and travelers, this service is intended to provide a more reliable alternative to navigating flooded areas, where standard traffic flow and public transit schedules may be severely compromised. By facilitating connections to major transit hubs, the department hopes to maintain mobility for those needing to reach essential destinations despite the adverse weather conditions.
While these routes are currently operational, the duration of the service remains subject to the evolution of the flood situation. Travelers are advised to monitor official updates from the Department of Highways regarding potential route adjustments or service extensions as water levels fluctuate. It is recommended that those planning to travel through affected districts check local traffic reports and official government announcements before departing, as road conditions can change rapidly. Further details regarding specific pickup points and operational hours can be found through the official channels of the Thailand Government Public Relations Department.
