SI 2.5 Comprehensive Eco-friendly Transportation Systems

[2.5.5] Shuttle Services

Description:

Actually, shuttle services are not necessary for us because our campus area is small and another zero-emission transportation services, such as Bangkok green-line Mass Transit System (BTS) and blue-line Metropolitan Rapid Transit (MRT) are available. Transportation to Siam University is very convenient since we locate at the “heart” of the “Bang Wa Intersection” between BTS and MRT. The station of this public transportation system is just only 500 meters from the university. There are also many local buses where bus stops are next to the campus and we can even use canal boats at the Bang Wa Pier run by the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration which is very close to the University. Hence, we are very friendly in terms of transportation. Most of SU students and staff prefer to walk from the stations of all public transportation to the campus.

In addition, the university also provides zero-emission vehicles including bicycles for students and staff within the campus. They are also provided regularly and free.

However, considering the convenience of public transportation, the university provides 1 shuttle bus managed by the university for medical and nursing students to go to classes at our network hospitals. The shuttle service is also provided regularly and free.
