Thailand’s Transport Co. Launches Agricultural Produce Delivery via Bus Network
The Transport Co., Ltd. (BKS) has partnered with the Department of Cooperative Promotion to utilize passenger buses for transporting agricultural goods across Thailand.
On October 9, 2026, The Transport Co., Ltd. (BKS) officially launched a new initiative to integrate agricultural produce distribution into its nationwide passenger bus network. The project, developed in collaboration with the Department of Cooperative Promotion and the Agricultural Cooperative Federation of Thailand, aims to streamline the delivery of local farm products to urban markets.
The pilot phase commenced with the shipment of 600 kilograms of Longkong fruit from Uttaradit province directly to the Bangkok Bus Terminal (Chatuchak), also known as Mo Chit 2. Officials, including BKS President Atthawit Rakjamroon, inaugurated the cooperative distribution center at the terminal to facilitate this logistics link.
For residents and travelers, this initiative may lead to increased availability of fresh, regional produce at major transport hubs. It represents a shift in how public transport infrastructure is utilized to support local economies. While the initial focus is on agricultural goods, it remains to be confirmed how this service will scale, what specific types of produce will be prioritized in the future, and whether this will impact passenger luggage space or bus scheduling. Further details regarding the expansion of this service to other provinces and the potential for consumer-direct shipping options are expected to be clarified as the program progresses.
