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.
Endpoint and API notes

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

Example request
# Source landing or publication page; inspect linked documents or resources before automation.
curl -L "https://www.thaismilebus.com/"
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.
