Thai Mass Rapid Transit Authority has chosen 7319 Egis as a project consultant for Bangkok’s Pink Line monorail along with its local partner Team Consult. The estimated ฿53.5bn (£1.2bn) scheme will deploy 42 trains with a maximum speed of 80 km / h with the intention of carrying more than 28,000 passengers per hour in each direction and increasing everyday journeys to more than 400,000 people.
