How this helps travel recommendations

Turns bus travel from vague advice into station, route, timetable, terminal, and confidence logic for Bangkok pivots, intercity routes, and lower-cost overland itineraries.

Developer reference

Best endpoint

Use Namtang GTFS as the route/stop spine, MOT passenger bus terminals as the official terminal master, BKS timetable/facility resources for intercity context, and OSM/Transitland as validation layers.

Recommended refresh

Refresh daily, or more often only when the source publishes explicit current-status fields.

Travel scoring role

Turns bus travel from vague advice into station, route, timetable, terminal, and confidence logic for Bangkok pivots, intercity routes, and lower-cost overland itineraries.

Comparable / backup source

MOT, DLT, Namtang/OTP, Transport Co./BKS, BMTA, Thai Smile Bus, OpenStreetMap/Overpass, Transitland, Mobility Database, and official operator pages.

Example request

# Source landing or publication page; inspect linked documents or resources before automation.
curl -L "https://www.bmta.co.th/"

Failure modes

  • Static GTFS does not mean realtime vehicle positions.
  • App-visible realtime is not automatically a public ingest API.
  • Station coordinates and X/Y labels need validation.
  • Intercity timetable pages can be brittle without documented JSON APIs.
  • Commercial booking inventory usually requires partner access.
  • Dashboard markup or public-page layout can change without notice.

Source confidence: Treat this profile as strongest for the exact role named above. It is weaker when the source is stretched into live availability, legal proof, or traveler-fit decisions it does not directly prove.
