Well, the only mass transit available at Future Park Rangsit, The Mall Bangkae and BITEC is the bus (and minivans)....... cannot imagine the car parks would draw many people until they are connected to some sort of railbound transit system.......

Government to build more public car parks linked to mass transit systems

BANGKOK, June 15 (TNA) - The government plans to build more large-scaled public car park linked to Bangkok's mass transit systems as part of national energy conservation drives, according to the Energy Policy and Planning Office (EPPO).
EPPO said on Thursday that the plan followed an overwhelming welcome by motorists for two existing public car parks located near Mo Chit skytrain station and Bang Sue subway station--more than 1,000 cars are parked at each of the two facilities everyday.
Under the plan, similar large-scaled car parks will be built near the Future Park Rangsit Shopping Centre, the Mall Bang Kae and the Bangkok International Trade and Exhibition Centre (BITEC) in Bangna area.
Feasibility studies would soon be conducted before the new plan would be finalized, said the EPPO.
The initiative is aimed to encourage more people to use mass transit services and leave their cars at the car parks to save domestic energy consumption and reduce oil imports. (TNA)--E002
