Necessity of M-MAP2 to meet with
future urban structure of Bangkok andsocial situation in Thailand(C) Mr. FUKUDA Atsushi, Japan Transport and Tourism Research Institute, 2020

Fundamental Idea of Future Mass Transit Corridors
In JICA Preparatory Study for M-MAP2 Blue print, Draft
Proposal was discussed and identified based on the following
planning considerations:◼ To promote future regional structure plan
◼ To support development of CBD and sub-centers◼ To meet with future demand-supply gap by direction◼ To improve the traffic efficiency and railway coverage areain the City Center(C) Mr. FUKUDA Atsushi, Japan Transport and Tourism Research Institute, 2020

◼ Mass transit lines should connect to link sub-centers

among mass rapid corridors andwith other transport modes.
➢ To promote urban development
at transit terminals and subcenters.

Based on experience of M-MAP2 Blue print study,
establishment of urban railway planning and evaluation
process including demand forecasting method◼ Existing demand forecasting study mainly focused to roadtransport.

◼ In particular, it is important to establish a framework thatcan evaluate service levels such as fare levels and operating
frequencies.
◼ It manages the entire railway as a network, enhances theconnectivity of each railway, and has the role of ensuring
user convenience by making it seamless.
◼ Establish a methodology to promote railway development
in cooperation with other related organizations(C) Mr. FUKUDA Atsushi, Japan Transport and Tourism Research Institute, 2020
