The Mass Rapid Transit Master Plan in Bangkok Metropolitan Region or M-Map is the latest version in a series of Thai government plans for the development of an urban rail transit network serving the Greater Bangkok area. It was drafted under the care of the Office of Transport and Traffic Policy and Planning (OTP) of the Ministry of Transport.

Early versions

Mass Rapid Transit Systems Master Plan (MTMP)

The first version of the plan, endorsed by the cabinet on 27 September 1994 and to be implemented from 1995 to 2011, consisted of an extension of 135 kilometres (84 mi) to the three systems already in progress (the MRT Blue Line, the Sukhumvit and Silom lines of the BTS Skytrain and the Bangkok Elevated Road and Train System (BERTS)), which would have had a combined length of 103 kilometres (64 mi).^[1]

Urban Rail Transportation Master Plan in Bangkok and Surrounding Areas (URMAP)

Following the 1997 Asian Financial Crisis and the cancellation of the BERTS, a system totalling 375 kilometres (233 mi) to begin in 2001 was proposed, to be developed in three stages: 141.9 kilometres (88.2 mi) during 2001–11, 158.2 kilometres (98.3 mi) during 2012–21 and 75.3 kilometres (46.8 mi) from 2022 onwards.^[1]

Bangkok Mass Transit Master Plan (BMT)

Due to the slow progress of development following URMAP, a new plan was drafted consisting of 291 kilometres (181 mi) of rail in addition to the then-completed Blue Line of the MRT and the Sukhumvit and Silom BTS lines, to undergo rapid development during 2004–09. The plan was approved by the cabinet on 7 September 2004, and consisted of the following extensions:

Light Green Line: east-west extension of the BTS to Samut Prakan and Phran Nok
Dark Green Line: north-south extension of the BTS to Saphan Mai and Bang Wa
Blue Line: extension of the MRT Blue Line to complete an inner ring with a branch to Bang Khae
Purple Line: running northwest–south from Bang Yai, Nonthaburi to Rat Burana
Orange Line: running east–west from Bang Kapi to Bang Bamru
Dark Red Line: running north–southwest from Rangsit, Pathum Thani to Maha Chai, Samut Sakhon
Light Red Line: running east-west from Suvarnabhumi to Taling Chan

M-Map

The current plan was endorsed by the Commission for the Management of Land Traffic, chaired by then-Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva, on 8 February 2010.^[2] It designates eight primary routes, consisting of two commuter rail lines, an airport rail link, and five rapid transit lines, as well as four feeder lines. The routes, totalling 555.74 kilometres (345.32 mi), are to be constructed within a development period of twenty years (2010–29). They are:^[3]
