The Elevated Train in Commemoration of His Majesty the King's 6th Cycle Birthday, Route 2 (Silom Line) running 6.5 kilometers and on 23rd August 2009, a 2.2 kilometer extension of the Silom
Line commenced operations, expanding train services from Saphan Taksin to Wongwian Yai station on Thonburi side of the Chaophraya River. Currently BTS SkyTrain lines run a combined length of 30.95 kilometers, connecting 30 stations. The BTS SkyTrain system is a standard mass transit system commonly used in cosmopolitan cities. The SkyTrain runs on an elevated track, using a third-rail system to supply electricity, with in-bound and out-bound trains running on separate tracks and platforms. The BTS SkyTrain changes the face of the urban commute and raises the standard of mass transit services with each train serving up to 1,000 passengers per journey compared to the 800 vehicles on the roads transporting the same number of commuters. In addition to serving businesses, shopping districts and residential areas in the heart of Bangkok, an extension project is also in the plan in order to reach the broader community of potential passengers in suburban Bangkok.
