We will start a demonstration experiment of on-demand transportation

　Due to a severe shortage of bus drivers and the need to comply with the revised Improvement Standards Notification enforced in April 2024, a demonstration experiment of on-demand transportation (a shared mobility service that operates between designated boarding and alighting locations based on user reservations rather than fixed routes or schedules) will be conducted mainly in Koyodai and Nagamine District, where route bus services have been significantly reduced.

　Regarding this demonstration experiment, it will be conducted based on the "Implementation of a demonstration experiment for the full-scale introduction of on-demand transportation" as part of the "Examination of new means of transportation" in the "Policy for the 3rd phase review of Inagi City Community Bus," established by the Inagi City Regional Public Transportation Council. This is in line with the review aimed at reducing routes to maintain the route buses of Inagi City's community bus i-Bus in the future, so as to minimize the impact of service reductions as much as possible.
