The sidewalk that looks wide enough for a bus to drive on is the road in front of the main gate of Uegahara Elementary School, where you’ll find probably the narrowest bus stop in Nishinomiya.
Here it is on the map↓

When I measured it, it looked like this (*^^)vI measured it secretly in the middle of the night, so there may be a slight margin of error^^;
Believe it or not, buses and passenger cars pass each other on this roadway!!!
Just barely(^^ゞ
A typical bus seems to be 9 meters long, with a width of 2.3 to 2.5 meters!
Which means…
Since the sidewalk is 3 meters 18 centimeters wide, a bus could drive on it with room to spareぅ～(*^^)v
See? In this photo, it really looks like a bus could just hop right up onto the sidewalk!(^^)!
Hankyu buses run along the narrow roads in the Uegahara area, and watching them turn and pass each other really makes you appreciate the drivers’ skill(#^.^#)
