Bangkok City Council Delays Transfer of Green and Gold Line Skytrain Operations
The Bangkok Metropolitan Council has established a special committee to review the proposed transfer of the Green and Gold Line rail operations, citing concerns that the current details are not yet suitable for approval.
On November 11, 2026, the Bangkok Metropolitan Council held a meeting to discuss the potential transfer of the Green and Gold Line Skytrain operations. According to a report by Matichon Online, the council has decided to form a special committee to conduct a thorough study before proceeding with any transfer. The council members expressed that, based on the current details provided, the proposal is not yet considered suitable for implementation. For residents and commuters in Bangkok, this decision means that the management and operational structure of these key transit lines will remain unchanged for the time being. While the Skytrain services continue to operate as usual, the delay in the transfer process suggests that the city is exercising caution regarding the long-term administrative and financial implications of these rail projects. It remains to be confirmed what specific details the special committee will focus on during their review and how long the study will take before a final decision is reached. Commuters should continue to monitor official announcements from the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration regarding any future changes to transit operations or fare structures.
