Plans afoot for new city bus terminal
Suriya: Terminal to become user-friendly

In the Bang Sue neighborhood, close to the Krung Thep Aphiwat Central Terminal, the Transport Ministry intends to build a novel Bangkok Bus Terminal.

Suphanat Meenchainan, the Move Forward Party MP for the Chatuchak, Bang Khen, and Lak Si areas, voiced a complaint about the run-down Bangkok Bus Terminal, or Mo Chit 2, on December 27 during the House discussion on the 2024 governmental resources on Thursday. Transport Minister Suriya Jungrungreangkit responded to the problem.

Bad services and connection issues were reportedly present on Mo Chit2.

According to Mr. Suriya, a plan to fix Mo Chit 2 and fix its company problems was also being written in addition to the new switch development. Since the closure of the first Mo Chit bus terminal in the past, Mochit 2 has been acting as a momentary switch.

According to Mr. Suriya, the new Bangkok Bus Terminal will be a user-friendly service.

It aims to give people efficient and cost-effective ease. Caves and covered walkways for seamless connections with trucks, trains, and electric rail solutions are just a few of the fixtures that are already planned for inclusion. To make the most of the connector room, a shared wall is also being thought about.

The new Bangkok Bus Terminal may be built as a mixed-use facility with professional rental spaces and business spaces for extra income, drawing inspiration from Japan’s Hakata and Tokyo stations.

There wo n’t be a bus depot at the terminal to reduce pollution and traffic congestion. According to their company routine, cars may arrive and depart.

According to Mr. Suriya, the government had given Transport Company Ltd. the go-ahead to create comparable services provisions to those found at airports in order to make continuous rotation use of the terminal gates easier.

According to Mr. Suriya, the project will be completed in four times and cost at least 7 billion ringgit.

Less space is required for development because the switch will be a high-rise development.

However, the Transport Ministry source said that because the negotiations with the landowner are still continuing, it is not yet possible to specify how much room the fresh terminal will require.
