Chaos on BTS: ‘Technical’ problem causes severe delays on Sukhumvit line

Technical problems on the BTS are causing severe delays on the Sukhumvit line that will reportedly last all day.

The BTS Skytrain official Twitter account said there were “technical problems between Chit Lom and Siam Stations” but added that the Silom line was operating as usual.

Netizens took to Twitter to share photos of huge crowds and long queues as passengers were stranded at several BTS stations across the Sukhumvit line.

Some foreign commuters complained there had been no announcements or forthcoming information from BTS staff in English.

Ratchaprong News said the BTS problem would last all day as there was “technical situation that has to be fixed tonight.”

“Service will be slow from Mo Chit to Bearing. Silom Line is normal. Prepare to spend more time traveling today or use other public transportation,” it said on its Facebook page.
