| description | A dense network of buses, with some running to very high frequencies link together the centre of the city. Traffic in Kyoto can be heavy so the services aren't always that reliable and during rush hours you may have to let a couple of buses go past before you are able to board. In Kyoto you board the bus via the rear door and exit via the front paying the drive or tapping you IC card to the reader as you exit (flat fare system operates) | |
