City's skytrain service resumes with more tightened security measures
BANGKOK, Aug 12 (TNA) - Skytrain in Thailand's capital has resumed its service with more tightened security measures after a temporary suspension following a suicide attempt by a student.
Bangkok Mass Transit System Co. (BTS), the operator of the city's skytrain system, was forced to temporarily suspend its service for some hours after the student, identified as Mr. Thirasak Jitdamrong, jumped down to the skytrain rail at its Asoke Station in downtown Bangkok Saturday morning. He was injured and has been admitted into a nearby hospital. "It's the first undesirable incident since BTS has operated the skytrain service over tha past six years," Dr. Anat Arbhabhirama, advisor of the company's board of directos, told journalists.

He admitted, however, that the incident was the fault of the company's security staff although they had been prepared and successfully prevented unexpected incidents and accidents so far.
Dr. Anat promised that BTS would further tighten its security measures with more vigilance on passengers' behaviours to prevent any repetition of the incident in the future. He, however, dismissed a proposal that BTS add a glass-door to its system, like that of the city's underground train, saying no global skytrain services apply to the glass-door system for safety. The capital's skytrain resumed its service before noon Saturday. (TNA)--E002
