Oita Transportation will raise the fares for its airport express buses departing to and from Oita Airport starting December 12.
The Air Liner service (Oita Airport to Beppu and Oita City) will have a flat one-way fare of 1,600 yen, with 2-ticket passes available exclusively at Bus Ticket Oita for 3,000 yen. The sale of 4-ticket passes will be discontinued.
The Yufuin Liner (Oita Airport to Yufuin Station Front BC) will have a one-way fare set at 2,000 yen, and the sale of 2-ticket passes will be discontinued. The North Liner service (Oita Airport to Bungotakada, Usa, and Nakatsu) will also discontinue the sale of 2-ticket passes.
The company cites the increase in transportation costs due to the surge in fuel prices and the need for improvement in the treatment of its drivers as reasons for the fare hike. Tickets purchased by December 11 will still be valid after the price increase.
