JR Kyushu Bus, a subsidiary of JR Kyushu Group, is set to increase bus fares by 10-14% on three routes within Fukuoka, Saga-Nagasaki, and Kagoshima, effective April 1. This marks the first significant fare revision since 2001, excluding adjustments made due to the consumption tax increase. The hike is attributed to soaring fuel costs and the need for improved driver wages. Source: Nikkei / JR Kyushu
