TheMRT Pink Line (Thai:รถไฟฟ้ามหานคร สายสีชมพู) is an elevatedmonorail line of theMRT inBangkok andNonthaburi Province, Thailand. The monorail line is 34.5 kilometres (21.4 mi) long and has 30 stations.^[3] It runs in the northern part of theBangkok Metropolitan Area fromNonthaburi Civic Center inPak Kret district,Nonthaburi along the major east–west transport corridor ofHighway 304 (Chaeng Wattana and Ram Inthra roads) to terminate atMin Buri inMin Buri district in eastBangkok. It opened for free public trial operation on 21 November 2023^[4] with then Prime MinisterSrettha Thavisin taking the inaugural ride.^[5]

The line is designed to link the northern areas of Bangkok and Nonthaburi by connecting with three existing and three future mass transit lines. At Nonthaburi Civic Center the line interchanges with theMRT Purple Line and the proposedMRT Brown Line. The line also interchanges with theSRT Dark Red Line, theBTS Sukhumvit Line and the plannedBMA Grey Line. At the Min Buri terminus, the line interchanges with theMRT Orange Line.

Construction of the Pink Line began in December 2017. In October 2020, the BSR consortium stated that they aimed to open the first section of the Pink Line by October 2021, with services initially operating fromMin Buri (PK30) toGovernment Complex (PK12). The complete line was originally set to be fully open by June 2022.^[6] However, the outbreak of COVID-19 in Bangkok and changes to station locations delayed the opening date. On 24 September 2021, the MRTA Board granted a 290-day extension to the construction contract period.^[7] In November 2021, the MRTA Board approved a new phased opening of the line starting from August 2022. On 9 December 2021, daily testing conducted at a maximum speed of 25 km/h (16 mph) began on a short 4 km (2.5 mi) section of the line between the depot at Min Buri andBang Chan station. After a period of 3 months, testing was conducted at higher speeds and along a longer section of track.^[8]

In April 2022, the acting Director-General of the Department of Rail Transport stated that the line would not begin full testing until September 2022 and that the first stage would not open until late December 2022.^[9] In May 2023, a further 345-day extension was announced by the MRTA, delaying the start of trial operations for the initial section and later the final opening of the full line to June 2024.^[10] However, after the opening of the MRT Yellow line the BSR announced that the first section of the line would open in November 2023.^[11]

The line opened for free public trial operation on 21 November 2023 and officially launched on 18 December 2023.^[4] Revenue service was initially scheduled to begin on 3 January 2024,^[12] but an incident involving conductor rails resulted in a delay to 7 January, with a 15 percent discount for travels betweenRoyal Irrigation Department and Min Buri, and the first four stations will be free of charge, running only in one direction on rails unaffected by the incident as a shuttle service, while the affected rails are being repaired.^[13]

The line begins atNonthaburi Civic Center near Khae Rai Junction,Nonthaburi Province, in the northwest of GreaterBangkok. The line then heads north along Tiwanon Road to Pak Kret Intersection,Pak Kret District, before turning east to run alongChaeng Watthana road. It interchanges with theSRT Dark Red Line at Lak Si Station and passes overVibhavadi Rangsit Road running east through the Ram Intra intersection and the Lak Si monument inBang Khen District, where it crosses under theBTS Sukhumvit Line and interchanges withWat Phra Sri Mahathat. The line then continues farther east along Ram Inthra Road to the northeast ofBangkok before terminating at Min Buri where it finally interchanges with theMRT Orange Line atMin Buri station (OR28).

The Pink Line was first proposed in 2005 by theOffice of Transport and Traffic Policy and Planning as a heavy rail underground line. It was changed to a monorail line in 2008 to reduce construction costs. The director-general of the Office of Transport and Traffic Policy and Planning had previously stated in an interview that the Pink Line was considered a priority scheme to be completed by 2017–18, as it ran past the then recently opened Bangkok Government Complex.^[14] A review was undertaken in early 2012 to reconsider the heavy rail option, but cost restraints prevailed and the Office decided to continue with the monorail plan. The review of the line did result, however, in the addition of 6 new stations. The environmental impact assessment for the Pink Line was finalized in late 2012. In October 2012, members of the new government requested to extend the planned line east by 3.4 km (2.1 mi) beyond the Min Buri terminus to Nong Chok.^[15] However, this extension of the line was not approved. The expected cost of the line in 2012 with the additional 6 extra stations was 55 billionbaht.^[16]

The Pink line was due to be tendered in the third quarter of 2013 with construction due to commence in early 2014.^[17] However, delays in preparation of the tender in relation to the selection of monorailrolling stock and political protests resulting in a snap national election in early Feb 2014 further delayed the Pink Line tender.^[18] A coup in May 2014 resulted in a new military administration and the tender being deferred while a review of all mass transit projects was undertaken for a period of 18 months. The Pink line tender was then changed to a PPP tender process which was not released until mid 2016.

The BSR consortium consisting ofBTS Group Holdings (75% majority stake) with Sino-Thai Engineering and Construction (STEC), and Ratch Group (RATCH) won the bid in early December 2016 to construct and operate the Pink Line.^[19] The BSR consortium won the bid for a 30-year concession operate the line and also won the bid to build and operate theMRT Yellow Line.

On 16 June 2017, contracts were signed by the BSR consortium with theMass Rapid Transit Authority of Thailand.^[20] The BSR established the Northern Bangkok Monorail Company Limited (NBM) to operate the line.

In 2016, the BTSC received a fund for an extension to link Impact, Muang Thong Thani and theMuang Thong Thani condominium buildings fromBangkok Land Public Company Limited. Accordingly, the BSR joint venture proposed a 2.8 km (1.7 mi), 2 station spur monorail route to link toImpact, Muang Thong Thani from what was then Si Rat station (now Muang Thong Thani station; the names were later switched).^[21] The two stations will be located adjacent to the Impact Challenger building near Muang Thong Thani Lake and the Impact Forum. In early August 2018, a second public hearing was conducted by the MRTA into the extension proposal.^[22]

The spur line proposal required a new EIA, which was completed in August 2020.^[23] The proposal was then presented to the Cabinet for approval to commence construction before the end of 2020.^[24] On 22 October 2020, the National Environment Board chaired by the Deputy PM approved the EIA and the MRTA evaluated construction costs of the spur line with BSR, with the final proposal proposed to be presented to Cabinet for approval by the end of November 2020.^[25] On 9 February 2021, Cabinet approved the 2.8 km (1.7 mi) spur line which is expected to cost 3.37 billion baht.^[26] Construction of the spur line was due to commence in July 2021. However, due to COVID-19 outbreaks in greater Bangkok construction was delayed until after December 2021. Finally, on 20 June 2022 the MRTA issued a Notice to Proceed for the now 4.2 billion baht spur line and soon after construction commenced.^[27]

By the end of January 2023, civil works construction had progressed to 16.15%.^[28] By the end of May 2023, construction had progressed to 27.77%.^[29]

The MRTA may also consider a further 2 km (1.2 mi) extension in the future from Muang Thong Thani to Tiwanon road.^[30]

Originally, the line was designed with 24 stations, two of which with apark and ride facility. However, six new stations were added in mid-2012 for a total of 30 stations.

The BSR selectedBombardier Innovia Monorail 300 rolling stock for the Pink Line. The BSR announced that they will purchase 42 four-car sets to operate the line.^[32] The total order of 70 sets of trains for the Pink and Yellow lines will cost 50 billion baht. These trains will be manufactured by CRRC Puzhen Bombardier Transportation Systems (joint venture ofBombardier Transportation andCRRC Nanjing Puzhen) inWuhu,Anhui, China. The first set was shipped on 4 September 2020^[33] and arrived in Thailand on 1 October at Laem Chabang port with a handover ceremony attended by the Thai Prime Minister, the Bangkok Mass Transit System PLC. (BTSC) Chairman, MRTA and the Canadian Ambassador to Thailand.^[34] By July 2021, 8 sets had been delivered and were being tested.^[35] All sets were due to be delivered by early 2022. However, as of mid-April 2022, only 24 sets had been received and were progressively undergoing testing.^[9] The remaining sets were expected to be delivered by July 2022, but this was later delayed with the last sets delivered by early March 2023.^[36]

The Bombardier Innovia Monorail 300 operates on a narrow, elevated guide beam. Pre-cast, post-tensioned guide beams are constructed at an off-site location and later installed on the system. The guide beams are 690 mm (27 in) wide. The Innovia Monorail 300 was designed to navigate curves as tight as 46 m (151 ft) and a maximum grade of 6%. Monorail switches will be either beam replacement or multi-position pivot switches.^[40] The system will have evacuation walkways down the entire length of the guide beam. These walkways will allow passengers to escape onboard hazards. These walkways will be used by the maintenance crew for repairs and general maintenance to the system.^[41]

From January 25 to January 31, 2025, Prime MinisterPaetongtarn Shinawatra has implemented a policy of free public transportation in Bangkok for one week. This measure aims to address the worsening air pollution caused by surging dust levels across all districts of the capital.^[43]

During the free trial period on 24 December 2023 at approximately 4:45 a.m., before daily passenger service had begun, an estimated 300m stretch of electrifiedconductor rail fell down to the road below near Samakkhi station, with an additional 4km of the conductor rail left hanging above the street.^[46] Three cars were damaged, and a train became stuck on the damaged section. No injuries were reported.^[47][48] All stations between Nonthaburi Civic Center and Pak Kret Bypass were closed, and a shuttle service was provided between Chaeng Watthana - Pak Kret 28 and National Telecom stations, while an investigation took place and the conductor rail was repaired.^[49]

At 6:00 p.m. on 30 December, the seven stations reopened, with trains running in a single direction between Nonthaburi Civic Center and Royal Irrigation Department stations on the unaffected rails as a shuttle service, and in both directions on the remaining stations.^[13][50]

On 30 March 2024 during construction of the Muang Thong Thani branch line, cement fell from the concourse of Impact Muang Thong Thani Station, breaking a car window and injuring a child riding in the back seat. The Minister of Transport ordered a 7-day halt to construction in the area.^[51]

During the2025 Myanmar earthquake on 28 March, a section of its power line was dislocated inMin Buri district of Bangkok, forcing the line to suspend operations.^[52] The line was reopened on April 1, with onlyMin Buri station remaining closed. A shuttle bus provided by BMTA has been deployed betweenMin Buri Market Station andMin Buri Station.^[53]
