Bangkok Mass Transit System (BEM) is promoting eco-friendly transportation on Car Free Day 2026 with a "Steps for Bags" campaign at Silom MRT Station. The initiative encourages residents to recognize the importance of walking and using public transit daily, which reduces private vehicle use, energy consumption, air pollution, and carbon emissions.

The event drew enthusiastic participation from commuters and the public, who showcased their step counts of 2,200 or more tracked via smartphone and shared memorable photos on social media, creating vibrant and engaging atmosphere. Participants left with small eco-friendly bags featuring lucky clover charms and flower seeds to plant and increase green spaces.

BEM is committed to supporting public transportation and sustainable travel behavior to improve urban quality of life and build a sustainable transportation society together.
