for air-conditioned buses range from 6 baht for the first eight kilometres
to a maximum of 16 baht. Fares are collected onboard. Bus numbers indicate
routes.
Buses can be uncomfortable and crowded especially during rush hours and
will therefore have very little or no room for luggage.

95 and air-conditioned buses numbers 4, 10, 13 and 29.
