Route decision
Bus route
Bangkok to Ayutthaya by Bus.
Short central route where bus/van can work, but train or private transfer may be simpler for temple-day timing.
Route planning reference
Bus Route route check
This static bus route page is paired with the current route check. Use it to separate a route that exists from a route that still works after weather, transfer burden, ferry fragility, and weak-leg risk are considered.
This is general route guidance; a verified current route check will appear only when a fresh snapshot is available.
- Namtang GTFS
- MOT terminals
- OSM
- SRT as comparison
Static daily/weekly; compare train context separately.
Use GTFS, MOT/BKS, and OSM for static structure. Do not imply realtime availability unless a documented public or partner API exists.
- Station correctness
- Timetable freshness
- Road/weather risk
- Whether flight/train/ferry is a better path
Bus route data workflow
The route page should become more confident as each layer agrees.
| Step | Data layer | Decision role |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | MOT/BKS station master | Confirms origin/destination facility identity |
| 2 | Namtang GTFS or route feed | Confirms route/stop/trip structure where covered |
| 3 | BKS timetable / official operator page | Adds departure and direction context |
| 4 | OSM / Transitland validation | Cross-checks stop geometry and feed history |
| 5 | Partner booking/realtime API | Only then add seat availability, live ETA, or price |
Sources and verification
Route-planning and condition sources
A route shape is static planning context. Weather, road conditions, operator status, and booked-service terms must be confirmed from the relevant live authority or operator.
- Thai Meteorological Department — daily forecast and warnings
- Thaiwater — rainfall, flood, and hydrology context
- Department of Land Transport — public transport information
