Extract of Interview with Dr Supachai Tantikom, Bangkok Chief Resilience Officer. He is the Chief Resilience Officer of Bangkok, advising the city’s Governor on how to prepare for future challenges. The city has seen “unprecedented change” in the last decade, he says, becoming a major centre of commerce and culture in Asia. It has brought about massive migration of people from surrounding areas of Thailand to the city. Bangkok’s reputation for bad traffic precedes itself. The key challenges are insufficient public transport and increasing private car ownership, Tantikom says. The city is planning a massive expansion of its mass rapid transit network from the existing 100km to 500km over the next 10 years, he says. It will also need to improve connectivity between the different train lines so commuters can transfer from one to the other easily. “There is still no proper connection between the systems”, he says, and people need to purchase a ticket every time they change from one line to another.
