Buses

Since November 2020, Yamaman Co. has established a bus department because the Yamaman Yukarigaoka Line has been difficult to use for elderly people who live in Yūkari-ga-Oka, especially when moving around the vicinity, shopping and other activities.

Yamaman first operated ここらら号 - Kokorara Gō as a socialization experiment from 2013 to October 2020, for transportation of poor people.

Currently, the Yamaman Yūkari-ga-Oka Community Bus こあら号 - Koara Gō[2] runs around the Yamaman Yukarigaoka Line. The bus department of Yamaman has five routes with a flat rate of 200 yen for adults, and 100 yen for children. Paying fares can be done via face authentication. Vehicles used are the Hino Rainbow and Hino Poncho.
