Highway bus
The highway bus system has developed alongside the promotion of expressway networks since the first route was established in 1964 at the time of the Tokyo Olympics. The number of route systems exceeds 1,500 now.
Recently medium distance transportation, particularly daytime routes less than 300 km between cities, has made remarkable progress, and medium distance bus service is becoming an indispensable form of transportation in the daily lives of users for commuting to work or school and shopping as well as for city bus travel.
Highway bus systems have expanded well through the development of networks and by the upgrade of bus interiors with more spacious and comfortable seats. In addition, fares are cheaper compared with other modes of transportation, and there are advantages of effective use of time through night routes service.
Highway bus service is offered by 153 companies and has grown to 1,589 route systems with the number of passengers reaching 66.7 million throughout Japan in 1998.
With the continuing tendency toward a decrease in passengers for city bus travel, highway bus systems are expected to further expand due to increasing demands for more routes.
