Learning notes
Explanation
ค่ารถ is made from ค่า “fee/cost” and รถ “car/vehicle.” In actual use, it covers more than private cars: bus fares, taxi fares, motorcycle taxi fares, shuttle costs, and similar transportation costs. Common patterns include ค่ารถเท่าไหร่? “How much is the fare?”, จ่ายค่ารถ “pay the fare,” ออกค่ารถให้ “cover someone’s transportation cost,” and เบิกค่ารถ “claim transportation reimbursement.”
Usage
It is commonly used when taking taxis or buses, checking shuttle costs, splitting ride expenses with friends, or claiming transportation expenses at work.
Caution
ค่ารถ usually does not mean the price of buying a car; use ราคารถ for that. For train or airplane fares, more specific words such as ค่ารถไฟ or ค่าเครื่องบิน are clearer.
