Learning notes

Explanation

Although กระเป๋า means “bag” and รถเมล์ means “public bus,” กระเป๋ารถเมล์ normally refers to a person, not a bag. The image is of the staff member on a bus who carries a fare bag while collecting money and giving tickets. Since it refers to a person, the classifier is คน.

Usage

It is used in everyday situations on public buses, especially when paying the fare, receiving change, asking about stops, or checking where the bus is going.

Caution

กระเป๋ารถเมล์ normally means a person. Do not use it for “a bag for riding the bus”; use a clearer phrase such as กระเป๋าสำหรับขึ้นรถเมล์ instead.
