(CTN News) – Pattaya City plans to introduce a new monorail line that will enhance public transportation and boost economic development, according to a recent research.

The new monorail system, known as the Red Line, will have ten stops and a 17.37-kilometer length, according to a feasibility assessment presented at Tuesday’s public meeting, the second on the new project.

A panel of consultants hired to develop and execute an environmental impact study on the new electric train project led Tuesday’s discussion.

A huge number of local company owners with a strong interest in the new line also came to provide input.

Monorail System: An Optimal Solution for Pattaya’s Tourism Context

According to the same report, Pattaya’s Red Line monorail route will begin at Thappraya Intersection, continue onto Thap Phraya Road and then Jomtien Second Road until reaching Jomtien Intersection, turn left onto Chaiyaphruek 1 Road, then enter Chaiyaphruek 2 Road, and continue until reaching the Eastern National Sports Training Centre.

The monorail form of electric rail systems was chosen for this project because it is likely to take up the least amount of traffic space on these highways and is most suited to the city’s tourism backdrop, according to the research.

According to the analysis, these gains are offset by greater construction and maintenance expenses.

According to the study, each station on the line is designed to be around 1 kilometre apart.

According to the analysis, the most suitable investment arrangement for this project is a public-private partnership (PPP).
