This photo shows a Hanshin Bus on the “Noda Hanshin-Amagasaki-Koshien Line” running along the Old National Highway with the first sunrise of the year in the background. It was taken by reader Twilight-san on New Year’s Day this year. Since the route will be suspended under this revision, it’s a scene we won’t be able to see next New Year’s Day.
Finally
The reason for the reduced services and suspensions is apparently the increasingly serious shortage of drivers across the transportation industry. If anyone is thinking they might like to try becoming a bus driver, you can apply from here〜😄
※Metro-san, Kagayaki 509-go-san, and Twilight-san, thank you very much for the information!!
