Safety checks on Yellow Line “every 2 months”

Surapong Piyachote, deputy transport minister, made the move on Monday to inform the public of the safety of the MRT Yellow Line, stating regular testing may be conducted in shorter intervals to avoid errors in the future.

One morning after standard passenger services resumed along the line, Mr. Surapong made the announcement after inspecting the Golden Line rail system in Bangkok.

Due to repairs on some of the track’s broken circuit rail in March, trains on the line had a shorter schedule before Sunday.

Parts of the broken track slammed into the road below, causing damage to some vehicles underneath the raised tracks. A portion of the paths between Hua Mak and Si Iam channels were also damaged by the incident, which made it necessary for trains to travel between the two stations in a single line. &nbsp, &nbsp,

The line’s controller, Eastern Bangkok Monorail Co Ltd ( EBM ) said the installation of a fresh 5.7- kilometre- long wire bridge was completed next year. Before the collection resumed normal procedures on Sunday, EBM claimed, the tracks have undergone rigorous safety tests.

Mr. Surapong claimed that instead of every six weeks, EBM has been given the mandate to conduct safety tests every two weeks. However, certain parts of the series will be tested weekly to inform the people of the train’s protection, he said.

Trains on the Golden Series have cameras hidden beneath the vehicles to aid engineers in identifying errors during activity. These devices can also be found on Pink Line carriages, he said.

A commuter at Si Iam place, who requested anonymity, pleaded with the authorities to prevent similar disruptions from occurring in the future, claiming that the shorter schedule caused many commuters who depended on the line.

Fares are up to 15- 45 ringgit per ride, depending on distance, though commuters you also sign up for the 25- bass regular pass promotion, according to EBM.
