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
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.
Check weekly for change detection, but treat the official publication period as the real cadence.

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.
- Batch files can change schema, naming, encoding, or publication cadence.
