Bus fare
On Tuesday, July 11, 2023, I noticed this poster hanging inside my local Keio Bus as I rode up to JR Nakano Station. Nakano Station is the terminus, so we came to a stop, and I knew I had enough time to take a moment to take a picture if I wanted, as the driver waited for all passengers to alight. (Nakano is also a pit stop for drivers who need to use the toilet. The Keio Bus company has a small office there - a barely-noticeable door next to the newsstand outside the station’s South Exit.) Bus fares are preparing to rise in September as a response to inflation. It’s the first bus fare increase in several years.
