| Research Abstract |
This study aims to analyze the change in urban transport in Bangkok by revealing the development process of public transport and the transition of urban transport policy in Bangkok. The study showed that there was a tendency of strengthening regulation from private business to public operation in each means of transport : tramways/suburban railways, buses, and urban railways. It also revealed that the recent politicization of urban transport became the main reason of delay in urban transport development.
