This totals 193 stations, however Siam is shared between the Sukhumvit and Silom lines, and is counted only once and shown once in the table below.
Several interchange stations share the same name but have different identifiers, are counted and appear twice or three times in the table below, for example Phaya Thai (Airport Rail Link and Sukhumvit Line) and Lat Phrao (Blue Line and Yellow Line). In other cases where there are designated interchanges between different networks, the two stations are given different names, such as Asok BTS station to Sukhumvit MRT and these are also counted separately. The Tha Phra station is passed twice in one full ride on the Blue Line but is counted only once.
Many more are currently in various stages of planning and construction as shown in the latest Mass Rapid Transit Master Plan.
