Impact of a “Missing Link” on Passenger’s Travel Time: A Case Study of Tao Poon Station
Abstract Tao Poon station is an interconnected station of the MRT Blue line and the MRT Purple line in Bangkok, Thailand. However, for the first 12 months of the MRT Purple line operations the interconnection to the Blue line was not possible due to a “missing link” issue. The Mass Rapid Transit Authority of Thailand (MRTA) provided a feeder system to facilitate the travel between the two lines. This paper presents the application of the simulation model using the PTV VISSIM/VISWALK software to study the impact of the two interconnected stations on passenger’s travel time. Modeling in this project includes three MRT stations: Bang Son station, Tao Poon station, and Bang Sue station. Then travel route choices are modeled for: a shuttle bus and a conventional train. By comparing the results generated by the software with the actual situation including the “blue line missing link,” the impact of the “missing link” on the passenger’s travel time was found. Overall, although the “missing link” distance was just 1.2 km, the impact of it on passenger’s travel time was huge. Normally, traveling in rush hour between Bang Sue and Tao Poon by MRT would take around 10 min, but traveling by a shuttle bus in the morning took up to four-times longer in the first 12 months of the MRT Purple line operations, before the “missing link” was finally fixed in August 2017.
