Bangkok MRT Blue Line
The MRT Blue Line currently consists of 38 stations scattered around the city, as this Bangkok metro line was significantly expanded in recent years. It connects major business, residential, and cultural areas of Bangkok.
The MRT Blue Line is well connected with other Bangkok metro systems. The line connects with the MRT Purple Line of the same service provider as well as the city’s other mass rapid transit systems, such as the BTS Green Line, the Airport Rail Link, the SRT Red Line, and the MRT Yellow Line.
However, you can buy one ticket for the entire trip only if you transfer to the MRT Purple Line, as all other metro systems require you to buy separate tickets.
