Bangkok rolls out new ‘user-friendly’ bus stop signs
The Bangkok Governor says the installation of 30 new “user-friendly” bus stop signs around the city will help save people from getting lost.
Aswin Kwanmuang says the idea was presented during Bangkok Design Week last year by a civic group called May Day.
“The first 30 signs are along the MRTA Green Line and outside Robinson Bang Rak on Charoenkrung Road, Central World on Rajadamri Road, the National Stadium on Rama I Road, MBK on Phayathai Road, the Khok Wua-Rattanakosin Exhibition intersection on Rajadamnoen Klang Road and in the Sanam Luang area.
The BMA is earmarking funding to erect 500 more signs in Chatuchak, Phayathai, Ratchathewee, Pathumwan and Bang Rak districts, according to the Governor. Bidding is now underway on the contract.
“Another 500 signs are budgeted for next year’s financial round, for Phra Nakhon, Dusit and Pom Prap districts.”
