Test runs of the Pink Line monorail project are underway to check on safety measures. Later, a trial run will be launched for commuters free of charge, a Northern Bangkok Monorail (NBM) official said on Wednesday.

Surapong Laoha-Unya, board director of NBM, concessionaire of the Pink Line running on the Khae Rai-Min Buri section, said short-term test runs are being carried out on the Min Buri-Lak Si section. As part of that, the NBM will run tests on the train, operations and rail systems to ensure everything is in line with engineering and safety standards.
