The MRT Light Blue Line (Din Daeng - Sathon) is a planned mass rapid transit line to be built in Bangkok, Thailand. Its path runs along the north - south axis. This line is to support the Din Daeng housing community areas, Bangkok City Hall 2, Makkasan city air terminal (Suvarnabhumi Airport Link), and business area along Sathon Road. The total distance of the route is approximately 9.5 km and is expected to service 319,000 passengers per day. The project and construction is expected to terminate in the year of 2029.

Progress

The new Yingluck Shinawatra led government, who replaced the Abhisit Vejjajiva led government, has decided not to pursue plans to continue the MRT Grey Line and the MRT Light Blue Line, citing that the lines are not feasible within their 4 years 10 lines rush plan and that if the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration plan to pursue it, the BMA must find funding on its own. ^[1]
