Mangmoom Card

The Mangmoom Card (Thai for "spider") is a planned stored-value card for rapid transit systems in Bangkok. Currently, many commuters carry multiple cards, since the existing Rabbit Card only works on the BTS Skytrain and Bangkok BRT, while the MRT Plus card works on the MRT Blue Line and MRT Purple Line. The card was initially planned to launch in August 2016^[1] but was delayed until at least 2017 as the Office of Transport and Traffic Policy and Planning required more time to integrate the ticketing systems of the different rail networks.^[2] In November 2016 Transport Minister Arkhom Termpittayapaisith announced the card would be available to use on the Skytrain, MRT, and Airport Rail Link by the middle of 2017.^[3]
