» I was stunned by the airing of American Psycho (unedited version, sic) at 12.15pm on True Visions Channel 228.

Who runs Red Line?

» Re: "Red Line B40 daily fare cap starts", (BP, Dec 2, 2025). I'm just curious whether the Red Line commuter trains are under the jurisdiction of the Mass Rapid Transit Authority (MRTA) or the State Railway of Thailand (SRT).
