A complete guide on using / riding local bus / city bus in Japan:
=====================================================
1. You can search local bus in google maps during commute one place to another. Browse google map and search destination and your location. It will come out nearby bus stoppage, time schedule and fare information.

2. In the bus stoppage, you will find which number of buses will stop, time schedule (working days and holidays), fare information.

3. There are 2 doors in a bus. You have enter through 2nd door and exit from first door.

4. You can use IC Cards (Pasmo / Suica) to provide bus fare. Only you have to punch entry time and punch exit time to provide fare. No need to collect ticket. If You don't have IC card, then collect ticket from entry gate and deposit ticket at exit time in coin box.

5. After entering bus, if seats are available, you have to take a seat. Prior confirming that bus drive will start the bus.

In Japan, People don't seat in these priority seat. If you sit there, you have to leave whenever those priority people enter into the bus.

Amazing video!!! Thank you so much!! Here in America we board the buses using the front door, you saved me from a lot of embarrassment haha. Amazing details thank you so much!!

[dayan]

thank you, this is truly a life saver for someone like me who needs to be prepared for anything. I have a question though, what will happen if you don't have change?

[aqswu]

Thanks friend, I needed this, I didn't know what the payment system was like

[hamtier]

Really doesn't seem that different from how it is in my country except for the fact that you enter in the second and exit from the first door. in my home country its swapped so that was a useful tidbit!

[AirbusAAussie]

This is in Ome
for those in Tokyo special wards
enter from the front door and exit at the back door

I think the ticket system is the opposite of the Orlando, Florida system that I use. Here, you pay or show your pass first, then get on the bus.

It's super neat to see how other countries do their bus system, and all the similarities and differences they have to mine.

I'm in Fukuoka for the first time, so I grab the ticket on the way in, and put it in the machine on the way out and it will tell me how much cash i need to deposit? Also how about for kids 4 years old

Hi may i know if its the same in shizuoka? I am planning to stay at mishima area and going around im shizuoka seems to be only by bus. Do Suica/Icoca work for buses there? Or is there a need to buy a special pass for it?

[ericjohnston]

Thank you very much for your helpful video! Just one question: do the Pasmo / Suica cards work nationwide?

[femininomenons]

we'll be arriving at 10pm at keisei ueno station and walking to our airbnb would take 1km (around 20 mins?) by foot so I searched it on google maps and riding the bus is another option (it'll take like 3 stops). if we take the bus, is it ok to bring the luggage? we have 1 small and 2 medium sized luggage. are we not gonna cause a delay with the bus schedule?

[ushiromiyabattler]

Hello thank you for this video, what happens if u dont press the button to say you going to leave the bus in the next stop?

[BeMyVforever]

Great video, thank you.
What if you suitcase? Can I still go on with it? Or what if it’s a bus with suitcase stored at bottom of bus, how do I tell bus driver I want to get my suitcase when I leave

[NoValeRush]

Did you have to make a specific hand gesture in the bus stop to signal the bus driver that you wanted to ride it?

[andreassutrisna]

Can i use icoca rather than suica card? Cause the bus entrance only have suica and passmo logo

[danielleigop]

i have pasmo on my phone. will it work in buses? i only tried it on train lines
