Items this document does not state (8)
These are items the company does not state in this document. We do not leave them blank, nor fill them in from other sources or by inference.
The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.Population decline and a shortage of workers are advancing in regional transportation. As a result, the region as a whole needs to use data and limited management resources across operators and local governments, rather than relying on efficiency improvements by individual operators.
