Hakone Tozan Bus applied to the Kanto District Transport Bureau for approval to change the upper fare limit of its general passenger automobile transportation business.
For sightseeing routes, the downward swing in passenger volume is expected to continue due to the raising of eruption alert levels around Owakudani in 2015 and 2019, the occurrence of natural disasters caused by major typhoons in 2019, and sluggish tourism demand in the wake of the Corona disaster. The business environment for lifestyle routes is also expected to remain challenging due to changes in the demographic structure caused by the declining birthrate and aging population, and the penetration of new lifestyles such as telecommuting.
In light of these circumstances, the average revision rate will be 15.5%, and the starting fare, which was originally 160-180 yen, will be revised to 200 yen. The fares for Yugawara community buses, which have uniform fares, will remain unchanged.
