A Guide to Riding the Kyoto Buses

A Guide to Riding the Kyoto Buses

Kyoto’s transportation network is much criticized as it does not actually offer comprehensive and comfortable travel solutions:

  • The subway covers a limited number of destinations, as its network consists of only two lines;
  • The train is mainly intended to leave the city center, and move either westward to Sagano, northward to Kurama or southward to Inari;
  • Bicycle is convenient in and around Kyoto’s center. However, its use is rather uncomfortable outside those limits despite recent efforts towards creating more cycling infrastructures;
  • Taxi are a convenient solution for a number of routes, but are obviously the most expensive one, and affordable only to a few travelers.
