Hanshin Bus announced that it applied to the Kinki District Transport Bureau of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism for approval to change the maximum fare for its general passenger automobile transportation business on December 23. In addition to a decline in passenger volume, the company cited soaring fuel prices, securing replacement costs for vehicles and equipment, and a shortage of drivers as the main reasons for the change.
This time, the company applied to raise the maximum fare for all lines by ¥70 from the current level to ¥310. The average revision rate is 29.3%. In addition, after approval, a notification will be filed to increase the implemented fare to 250 yen, and to unify the “240 yen section” and “Kobe Special Zone,” which currently have different fares, into a single 250 yen section.
The actual fare revision is scheduled for the summer or fall of 2025.
