The new Purple Line, the first rail route to connect Bangkok and Nonthaburi,
officially opened to the public on Saturday, with the Mass Rapid Transit
Authority of Thailand (MRTA) expecting it to carry some 200,000 commuters a
day in its first year.
The 23-kilometre elevated rail system is the fourth electric train line in
the country, linking Bang Yai district of Nonthaburi to the Tao Poon area of
Bangkok.
第一条连接曼谷和暖武里府的捷运紫线在周六正式营运，曼谷捷运局预测首年的日运
量达20万
捷运紫线长23公里，端点站设在暖武里府曼派区和曼谷岛本区，是泰国第4条的电气化捷运
线 (如果是电气化铁路应为第5条，详细请往下留言部分)
The new electric rail route was declared open at 3.19pm after Her Royal
Highness Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn travelled on a train from Tao Poon
station at the end of the line to Khlong Bang Phai, the first of the project’
s 16 stations, where she presided over the ceremony to mark the official
opening.
在当地时间下午3时19分，诗琳通女王储搭乘捷运紫线从空曼派站乘抵岛本站，象征着紫线
第一期的十六个车站正式投入营运。
The princess granted an audience to Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha, his
wife and senior government figures during the ride. Crowds of well-wishers,
many of them wearing purple which is the princess's birthday colour, waited
at the two stations to get a glimpse of the royal guest.
诗琳通女王储和总理帕拉育、帕拉育妻子和高级官员一同搭乘。很多在该两站等候的民众
都身穿庆祝王后诞辰的紫色衣服，希望一睹皇室风彩。
The MRTA said the service could accommodate some 50,000 commuters per hour
and a maximum of 400,000 per day. However, it expects the route will serve an
average of 200,000 daily riders during the first year of operation, with the
total gradually increasing to 400,000 a day by 2019.
曼谷捷运局表示，每小时载客量可达50000人，日载客量40万人。但在营运初年的日
载客量只有20万人，并会在2019年前将载客量逐步提升至40万人。
Passengers can connect with the Blue Line, or MRT, at Bang Sue station to go
to central Bangkok, with Hua Lamphong the final stop. Free passenger shuttle
buses will travel between Tao Poon station on the Purple Line and Bang Sue
station, part of the underground train sevice, until a connecting rail line
is built to cover the one-kilometre "missing link".
岛本站是紫线和蓝线的转乘站，乘客可以在此转乘蓝线前往曼谷的市中心，最远可以到达
华蓝蓬车站。但蓝线邦苏站至岛本站的路线还在建设中，短期内以免费的接驳车协助乘客
转乘。
