City bus services curtailed; subway stations monitored


The Bangkok Metropolitan Transport Authority (BMTA) yesterday suspended bus services from the Lat Phrao Intersection to Soi Chokechai 4 due to flooding, while privately run buses such as Route 8 would run as far as Soi Pavana.



The BTS Skytrain and MRT subway services were running normally yesterday, but MRT officials added Chatuchak and Khamphaeng Phetch stations to its watch list, which already included Phaholyothin, Ratchadapisek and Lat Phrao stations.

The Metropolitan Police Traffic Command yesterday announced flood-related closures of sections of another six roads: Vibhavadi-Rangsit Road to the Khlong Bang Sue Bridge; Phaholyothin Road to the Khlong Bang Sue Bridge; Lat Phrao Road to Soi Lat Phrao 48; Ratchadapisek Road from Ratchawipa Elevated Way to the Chao Phraya Park Hotel; Navamin Road from the 8 km marker of Ram Inthra Road to Khlong Lat Phrao Bridge; and Ram Inthra Road from Bang Khen Roundabout to the 5 km marker of Ram Inthra.

Motorists were also advised to avoid five roads flooded to knee-height; Phaholyothin Road from Khlong Bang Sue Bridge to Saphan Kwai Intersection; Lat Phrao Road from Soi Lat Phrao 48 to Chokechai Intersection; Vibhavadi Road from Khlong Bang Sue to Sutthisarn Intersection; Sukhaphibal 1 from Soi 147 to Prasert Manoonkit Road; and Ram Inthra Road from the 5 km to the 8 km marker.
