新潟交通 announced that it will reduce the number of route-bus services in Niigata City. It will revise its timetable on the 22nd and reduce services mainly on routes with low passenger numbers.
The reductions comprise 55 weekday services, 39 Saturday services and 41 Sunday and public-holiday services. The company explained that the cuts are necessary because a shortage of drivers is making stable operations difficult.
This reduction follows cuts made in March. The company is expected to review operations based on seasonal factors and staffing levels.
