The Transport Co., Ltd., a government-operated bus company, has introduced two new sales channels to simplify the purchase of inter-provincial bus tickets. Starting June 1, passengers can now buy tickets through the company’s Facebook and Line accounts. This initiative aims to ease the ticket-buying process, particularly during peak travel periods such as long holidays.
The company has expanded its ticket sales to these popular social media platforms to cater to the needs of Bangkok residents who frequently travel to other provinces during extended breaks. Tickets are available for purchase on Facebook and Line daily from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. To buy a ticket, passengers must message the designated administrator with their travel details, including destination and preferred date and time. After this, they will receive a QR code to complete the payment.
The payment options are designed to be flexible. Passengers can use mobile banking, pay at 7-Eleven outlets, or at various service counters. Once the payment is completed, customers will receive an e-ticket, which they can use to board the bus.
Company officials emphasize that this expansion to Facebook and Line is part of a broader effort to enhance customer convenience and streamline the ticket purchase process. These new channels complement the existing options of the mobile application and website, ensuring that passengers have multiple ways to secure their travel plans.
