Modes of transportation in Japan are basically similar with Malaysia (buses, taxis, private cars, bicycles, trains, ferries...) except that they have bullet train that is super cool and let's not start the topic of how sophisticated are their public transports, especially the spider web train map with 10 exits and above at each station. So huge that I heard stories of people got lost in the station.
Only in Japan will you see a guy all suit up, riding his bicycle to work.
One thing I really admire the Japanese is their effort in conserving the resources, from household waste sorting to minimal automobile usage. (Perhaps their cars are so expensive that only a small portion can afford it?) Nevertheless, everyone did their part.
It was already sunny afternoon when we came out from Nijo Castle and decided to take a bus ride back to hotel for check-out.
市バス City Bus
"Raku Bus is a system built and operated by the collaboration of 11 highway bus companies in Kyushu."
Would be a pretty scene when all the leaves turn red.
バス代 Bus Fare
220yen(RM8.80) for adult and half price for children.
I left out Kyoto taxi photos in this post but it starts at 640yen(RM25.60) for the first 2km.
Those that I have encountered cannot fully conversed in English, yet they do know a few phrases and are very friendly even though there's language barrier. The evidence of it is the photo above where the taxi uncle gave both my niece and nephew cute stickers, some even gave them sweets. Such hospitality.
