I thought this crowd control method had to be a joke when I first saw it in the MRT in Bangkok Thailand. Can yellow lines on the tile actually make people stand where they should stand?
If you are in Thailand - yes, yellow lines rule.
As you see, we who are boarding the train must stand to the side and enter on an angle. Those who are disembarking need to go straight and not veer off early. And that is exactly what happens – every single time. I do not care how crowded the station is during rush hour; no one will be blocking the doors.
No one – ever – stands where they should not stand in the MRT, or really anywhere in Thailand.
The first time I saw these lines, a few teenagers got in a single file line in the proper place, and I was dumbfounded. Now I take it as a matter of course and stand there just like a Thai person whenever I am about to board my train.

Nothing at fitinfun would be possible if I was still obese. Find out how well natural methods work for weight loss and you can do this too!
This type of system should be applied in my country too. In mumbai metro during rush hour it is very difficult to catch a train.

I think should probably happen in a few cities :)

This works from time to time. Just came from the BTS where they have the same system and in the rush hour there is hardly any authority to obey these lines. Everyone just wants to go home. If only the trains were more frequent we would wait for the next one, but they are not.
Thanks for the post!

I have only used the bts maybe 10 times in 2 years. I like the view but I much prefer the mrt :)

You should get on the purple line on the MRT then, it's a MRT line AND has the views. Also, not many people get on that line (for now). Head to the second last stop (forgot its name) to go to Central Westgate and there is the new IKEA there. Just have a wonder around, see the showrooms and pick up a few accessories for your place (if you need to). 😊

I'm in a hotel, so no Ikea for me! I have not been on that line yet but I need to go one day soon :)

Ah ok! Lucky you, have you been in a hotel for all this time since you've been in Bangkok? You must have had a good rate to stay there over getting a rented apartment. Still it's interesting to explore different parts of Bangkok as we have been meaning to see your area (local market, don't worry, we still remember the invite). ;)

It's about 9500 thb including wifi and utilities. I run the ac all day so that is about 2000 of that :) I just l just like this neighborhood, so I pretty much stay here - inertia!

That's a great deal for the area that you are in and how you are maximizing on the utilities. Good find and no doubt - inertia! ;)

lol - I'm trying to get my mojo back! I pay about 1800 a month for electric. I need to get a fan and it would be cheaper.
