The BTS Skytrain system in Bangkok traverses the main city area with two links. Here can be seen a commuter set on the top level near to the very touristy area of Pratunam. This BTS system is also connected to the Airport Link at Bangkok's main airport.

Still early morning so not much motor traffic. The BTS Skytrain on the lower level eases much of the traffic congestion in this city. Note the traffic light countdown to assist smoother traffic flow. Some of the traffic lights have a 90 second count!
