Traffic congestion as a result of over-tourism has led popular city launching an express bus service (Image: Getty) Traffic congestion as a result of over-tourism has led to the popular city launching an express bus service. Launched last Saturday, the service connects the city’s station with its major tourist destinations, in a bid to tackle over-tourism and reduce the negative impacts of the influx on the environment and daily lives of residents. Japan ’s popular city of Kyoto has been overcrowded with visitors, with more than 40 million domestic and foreign visitors hosted in 2022.
Through the new tourist-oriented bus service, the city hopes to thin the crowds which have been clogging local lines that local residents - a population of over 1.4 million - rely on for daily use. The service - the EX100 - will stop at popular tourist spots including the Kiyomizu-dera and the Ginkaku-ji temples, as well as the Gion area.
