The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism will conduct a trial operation of Japan’s ride-sharing by bus companies on the main island of Okinawa.
From June 1, Tokyo Bus will obtain permission to lift the limousine exclusivity and acquire a taxi business license. During the off-peak season for charter buses, bus drivers and guides will take on roles of taxis and Japan’s ride-sharing service.
The operation is scheduled from the time of arrival to departure on cruise ship port days, with operating hours from 4 PM to the early morning of 5 AM on Fridays and Saturdays, and from 1 PM to 6 PM on other days. Ride requests can be made via an app, with pre-determined fares.
