BEM Hosts Mahidol University Engineering Students for Rail Technology Study

On November 3, 2026, Bangkok Expressway and Metro (BEM) hosted a group of faculty and industrial engineering students from Mahidol University at the Khlong Bang Phai maintenance center. The visit, conducted under the 'Learning Moments: Learn & Lead' initiative, provided students with practical insights into the operations of the MRT Purple Line.

During the tour, participants explored three key operational areas: the Operation Control Centre (OCC), where they observed traffic management and safety protocols; the Main Workshop (MWS), which focuses on train inspection and maintenance engineering; and the Driving Train Simulator (DTS) room, where they experienced the technology used for operator training. BEM experts guided the students through these facilities to demonstrate how modern engineering and technology are applied to manage mass transit systems effectively.

For residents and commuters, this event highlights the ongoing efforts by transit operators to maintain high standards of technical expertise and safety in Bangkok's rail network. While the visit focused on educational development, it underscores the sophisticated infrastructure supporting the city's public transport. It remains to be confirmed whether BEM plans to expand these educational outreach programs to other universities or public groups in the future.
