Test runs for the new Futamigaura bus route began on July 1. The test runs will be held between 10:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. on weekends and holidays until September 30. The new bus route runs between Nishinoura (Nishi-ku, Fukuoka City) and Maebaru (Itoshima City) with a total of 12 bus stops. The route is divided into three sections, and fares run from ¥190 to ¥440. The new route is expected to promote and facilitate tourism in the area. Showa Bus says the route will become permanent if ridership during the testing period is high. Source: Fukuoka City, 6/18/2018
