Bus No. 8 (Bangkok) →
Route 8 (Bangkok bus route) – The term "bus number" generally refers to a specific single bus, but this article describes the "route" or "line" as assigned by BMTA/Ministry of Land Transport (which will be renamed to 2-38 per its reform plan). A move to other similar names (that do not mention the "number") instead of this proposed name can be suggested.

Weak oppose. Is the potential confusion actually significant? Most news sources use "No. 8".
[1][2][3] I'm not necessarily opposed to adopting a standard scheme that reflects an existing pattern, but one that fits
WP:NATURALDIS would be better than parenthetical disambiguation. --

Relisted due to disagreement on whether to add "bus route" to the qualifier. Is there another public transit Route 8 in Bangkok other than this one? — Ceso femmuin mbolgaig mbung, mellohi! (

User:Teampawaris previously renamed the article to
Bangkok Bus Line 8, which I reverted because reliable sources overwhelmingly use "Bus No. 8" (also, it shouldn't have been capitalised). I still prefer retaining the current title, but failing that, would prefer similar variants that avoid parenthetical disambiguation over the suggested titles.
