i-Bus Route Revision Decided [Service Starts April 1, 2026]

About Route Revisions

　Based on the request from Odakyu Bus Co., Ltd. to review routes due to a severe shortage of drivers and to comply with the "Standards for Improvement of Working Hours, etc. for Motor Vehicle Drivers (Improvement Standards Notice)" revised and enforced on April 1, 2024, the "Inagi City Regional Public Transportation Council," composed of representatives from Neighborhood Associations, civic groups, academic experts, and bus business operators, held a total of 22 meetings from July 2024 to January 2026 to discuss the matter. Following the "Citizen Opinion Hearing" in September 2025, the revision of the i-Bus 3rd term routes was decided. Please see below for the progress of the discussions so far.
