Nishi-Nippon Railroad (Nishitetsu) and Miyazaki Kotsu have decided to extend until next March the night-time bus service between Fukuoka City and Miyazaki City. Plans originally called for the service to be provided for six months starting from this March. A Nishitetsu spokesman said the target was 10 passengers per trip, and the service managed to reach only half that number. The companies believe the poor response was due to insufficient awareness of the service, however, and will continue the route to gauge actual interest.
