BTS and ViaBus Launch Real-Time Tracking for Three Rail Lines
BTS, EBM, and NBM have partnered with ViaBus to integrate real-time train tracking for the Green, Yellow, and Pink lines into a single application.
On August 6, 2026, BTS Group Holdings, in collaboration with Eastern Bangkok Monorail (EBM) and Northern Bangkok Monorail (NBM), announced a new partnership with Via Group (Thailand) and the National Innovation Agency. As reported by Khaosod Online, this initiative aims to upgrade the ViaBus application to provide real-time tracking and navigation for three major rail systems in Bangkok.
According to Sumit Srisantithum, Chief Operating Officer of BTS, the integration covers the BTS Green Line (Sukhumvit and Silom lines), as well as the Yellow Line (Nakhara Phiphat) and the Pink Line (Wiwat Nakhon). The project was officially launched at BTS Mo Chit Station.
For residents and travelers, this development is significant as it promises to simplify multi-modal transit planning by consolidating location data for these lines into one platform. By offering real-time updates, the service intends to help passengers better manage their travel times and reduce uncertainty during commutes.
While the announcement confirms the collaboration and the scope of the rail lines involved, specific details regarding the exact rollout schedule for all features or potential technical limitations during the initial phase remain to be confirmed. Users are encouraged to check the ViaBus application for updates on service availability.
