A charter inside the middle ring is capped at 250 baht, a circular ride at 30. The city bus, RTC, carried 102 passengers a day after the pandemic on three routes at 50 baht, losing about 300,000 baht a month. The provincial subcommittee's April 2026 minutes put the city at about a million trips a day and set a public-transport target of 13 percent with a 15 baht flat fare.",
  "story": "*Inference —* the red truck is losing a third of its fleet a decade to the phone, and the bus that was meant to replace both carries a hundred people a day. The million trips are still happening; they have moved to a vehicle nobody counts."
