Calls for Construction of Long-Delayed Sena Ruam BTS Station
A Bangkok City Council member has urged the administration to finally construct the Sena Ruam station on the BTS Green Line, citing a 20-year delay and concerns over fare collection.
During a recent Bangkok Metropolitan Council meeting, a representative for the Phaya Thai district raised concerns regarding the long-stalled development of the 'Sena Ruam' station on the BTS Green Line. According to Prachachat Business, the project has remained in the planning stages for over two decades without significant progress. The council member is now pressuring the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) to prioritize the construction of this station to improve transit accessibility in the area. Furthermore, the representative questioned the current fare structure, specifically raising concerns about whether passengers are being charged for a station that has yet to be opened or fully operationalized. For residents and commuters, this development highlights ongoing infrastructure challenges within the city's rail network. While the call for action is clear, it remains to be confirmed how the BMA will respond to these demands and whether there is a concrete timeline for the station's construction or a formal review of the fare collection policies mentioned. Travelers should note that while the Green Line remains a primary transit artery, specific station developments may face prolonged bureaucratic or budgetary hurdles.
