How to get on a municipal bus
Information for those who take the Yokohama Municipal Bus for the first time for sightseeing, business trips, conventions, etc.
Last update date April 23, 2024
Appearance of Municipal Bus
The ground is creamy and has a blue horizontal line.
In addition to municipal buses, there are buses of private businesses in Yokohama.
Some buses are wrapped with advertisements on the entire surface, but the front is municipal bus color except for some vehicles.
Destination display
There is a destination indication (direction curtain) along with the system number on the front and rear side of the vehicle and next to the entrance.
Not all bus stops will be displayed, so if you are not sure, ask the crew when boarding.
In the car, the next stop will be displayed on the display device in front of the car.
In addition, there is an off-vehicle broadcast speaker next to the bus ride door. Here, we provide information on destinations by automatic audio broadcasting.
How to get on
It is a prepayment method for the fare prepaid method by "getting off and off".
Please wait in line and wait at the bus stop.
Multiple lines of buses arrive and depart on one boarding pole.
Please be careful not to make a mistake.

Adults: Cash, IC220 yen, children: It is a uniform fare of 110 yen in cash and IC (most routes).

A single note
If you stand in front of the toll box, you start searching for your wallet from your bag or pocket for the first time, you will be in a hurry.
If you prepare a fare from your wallet while waiting for the bus, you will be able to get on with plenty of time.
When you are in trouble or have something you don't know
Please feel free to contact the crew.
For safe driving, please wait while waiting for a traffic light as much as possible.
If you have any questions (such as destination information or schedules), please feel free to contact the Yokohama City Call Center (045-664-2525).
A single note
Yokohama is a tourist destination, so there are many people who are friendly to tourists. If you're waiting for a bus, you can try to ask the local people. I think there are a lot of people who can teach you kindly.
Mobile phone
Please turn off the power of a device that emits radio waves, such as smartphones when it is crowded near the priority seat. In other places, please set to silent mode and refrain from calling. Please use earphones for audio and be careful not to leak.
Also, please refrain from using the smartphone because it is dangerous.
※Congestion time refers to the case where the customer's bodies are so crowded that they can touch each other.
About bringing pets into the car
Pet small animals such as small dogs and cats can be brought in only if they are in a complete case.
※Guide dogs and service dogs can be boarded as they are.
Cart type case can also be brought in.
However, if the crew determines that the customer cannot be ensured, such as when the car is crowded, we may refuse boarding.
※Pets cannot be brought in if the pet's head or feet are outside the container.
In addition, pet slings cannot be brought in even with a lid.
Others
The manners inside the car are the same as the bus that you usually use.
Have a good time on your trip.
