“The MRTA and BEM will keep the original schedule for MRT trains on both Chaloem Ratchamongkhon Line [Blue Line] and Chalong Ratchadham Line [Purple Line],” said the announcement. “Screening checkpoints will be set up at the entrance to all stations, equipped with thermal scanners and hand gel dispensers.”
To avoid overcrowding and bottlenecks of commuters, a measure called "Group Release" will be used -- commuters will be allowed to enter the train system in batches in three stages: before entering the ticketing booths; before entering the flap barrier gates; and before boarding the train.
Commuters are advised to plan their travel ahead and prepare for tardiness, which might occur during rush hours, the operators said.
