Isuzu BDG-RX6JFBJ Journey J #754
12 september 2018 - Shiki (Saitama Pref.), Honchō 5-chōme (埼玉県志木市本町５丁目), Prefectural Route 244.志04 (shi-04): 柳瀬川駅 (Yanasegawa Station) → 志木駅東口 (Shiki Station East Exit)
Kokusai Kōgyō has a few of these middle-floor shorties for tighter routes. In order to confuse the enemy, they don`t show the route number anyway. This route here is an example of those tighter routes - it runs on streets where deploying a standard-sized bus would block the traffic for the rest of the day. Unfortunately the service level is just abysmal - the number of trips can be counted on Google Street View (12.5 laps Mon-Fri and 9 laps on weekends), and there are approx. three-hour gaps, probably to allow for driver breaks. Overall it connects two subsequent stations on the Tōbu Tōjō line which are only 100 seconds apart by train, but about 15-18 minutes apart on this bus. Overall it`s a curiosity that is probably in the red, but some social level of service must exist - even if it is commercial.
