Six-Year Old Bus Expert Catches Errors in Timetables

A six-year-old expert on local bus operations has been very busy in Kitakyushu City. Seishiro Yasumoto, a kindergarten pupil, has memorized entire routes for Nishitetsu buses in the city after transcribing more than one hundred copies of route maps and bus schedules. The wonder kid discovered seven of the eight misprints on the revised route information at local bus stops. Seishiro enjoys weekend bus rides with his mother and father while visiting bus stations across the city. Source: Mainichi Shimbun, 11/11/2019
