## Tools (3)

- `buses_from`: Where intercity buses go from a Thai town, busiest routes first, with departures a day and the lowest fare. From BestBus's nightly data.
- `route_info`: The usual daily bus timetable of a Thai route from BestBus's nightly data: departures a day, first and last bus, fare range, journey time, bus companies, boarding points and the route page. No date needed; live seats on a specific date come from search_buses.
- `search_buses`: Live intercity bus departures in Thailand for one route and date, with departure time, bus company, boarding point and lowest fare in Thai baht. Each departure includes a booking_url that opens that bus on bestbus.me, where the traveller chooses seats and pays, and a map link for its boarding point.
