JR Bus Kanto and West Japan JR Bus to End Operation of Dream Relier Night Bus from June 1

JR Bus Kanto and West Japan JR Bus will discontinue operation of the Dream Relier night highway bus service from June 1.

The Dream Relier service began operating on March 31, 2017, as the “New Dream” service connecting Tokyo with the Keihanshin (Kyoto–Osaka–Kobe) area. It offers a 2-seat-per-row Precious Class and a 3-seat-per-row Advance Class. Fares start from 15,000 yen for Precious Class and from 11,000 yen for Advance Class.

From June 1, the companies will suspend operation of the Dream Relier No. 17 and No. 18 services due to vehicle deployment and other operational reasons, which are currently operated under the Dream Relier name.
