Thus :MRT system is the very high potential way to support the growth of BMA. Since, the :MRT system is very new to Thailand, this thesis considers the appropriate :MRT system to be implemented in the CBD of Bangkok, which is performed as a guideline to the policy implication. Qualitative analysis has been done by focusing on the feasibility and impact of MRT on urban land use in the CBD of Bangkok.
