Question about Rome2Rio in Thailand (page 2 of 2)

Hi Bruno

I don’t understand your message 😕

By adding a comma after "changed"...

Hi Bruno

I don’t get your message 😕

True, with a comma it makes more sense... I was really surprised that AI could be your new buddy [;]

Hi there,

Google Maps provides public transit routes.

Like any other site, it's best to cross-check with the transit authorities' websites, but it gives you some good leads!

As for AI, I’m really skeptical. It all depends on what data it’s been fed... Never trust it without verifying! !

Oh yeah, good question—I get your frustration. Rome2Rio is handy, but it’s true that it’s not always focused on public transport, especially in Bangkok where you really want to avoid those sketchy taxis during rush hour.

Honestly, from what I remember, Rome2Rio doesn’t really have an option to filter *just* the BTS and MRT. Like, you can’t say, "Show me ONLY the rail options." It’s a bit of a shame because the app often pushes mixed solutions that include taxis, which bumps up the total time and cost.

Personally, for this kind of hyper-local route in Bangkok, I use two apps that are way better: the official BTS Skytrain app and the MRT one. They show you exact transfers, wait times, everything. For Chong Nonsi to Bang Khun Non, I think there’s a direct MRT line, right? So honestly, it’s faster to check those instead of Rome2Rio.

Rome2Rio is still useful for intercity trips or when you’re mixing different types of transport (like an express bus + BTS), but for pure Bangkok travel, the official apps are just better. They’re free, up-to-date, and give you the real local info.

Also worth checking: Google Maps has improved its BTS and MRT info lately. It’s worth comparing schedules there too.

Anyway, sorry there’s no magic fix with Rome2Rio itself.
