Fast Buses in Japan: Now, Full Capacity Means Direct Destination

In a fresh move to streamline transportation, Japan has introduced a new policy enabling high-speed buses to skip intermediate stops and go directly to their destinations when the buses are full.

Public transportation is vital in Japan, with many residents relying on it for commuting and traveling. This policy aims to enhance efficiency and reduce travel time, demonstrating Japan's commitment to continuous improvements in its transportation infrastructure.

In the EU and US, similar changes could lead to mixed feedback, depending on the population density and reliance on public transport. In densely populated cities where public transport is heavily relied upon, such policy could be welcomed for its effectiveness and time-saving; however, in areas where public transport is not as frequently used, this could cause issues for passengers travelling to intermediate locations.
