Thai on the street (free bus)

freebus

In Bangkok, you can sometimes see the “blue sticker” in the front of (also the back of) the bus.
This bus is for free to get on. Can you read the blue sticker?

This bus is for free (to get on) by (using) tax of (Thai) people.

rót mee: route bus (“เมล์” means “mail” in English. This is different from “แม่” (mɛ̂ɛ:mother)

ฟรี

jàak: from (place), by
(In case “from (time)”, “ตั้งแต่ (tâŋ tɛ̀ɛ)” is used.)

The free bus is operated by tax paid by Thai people. So I think the bus is for Thai people, not for foreiger who don’t pay tax in Thailand :) Anyway everyone can use it.
