Connecting Yubari to Sapporo: A Proposal to Extend Demand-Responsive Transport

A recent proposal to extend the demand-responsive transport service operated by Yubari City to JR Kitahiroshima Station has sparked interest among residents. The current endpoint is in Naganuma Town, but extending the service to Kitahiroshima would offer significantly easier access to Sapporo. This would be particularly beneficial for residents who need to travel to Sapporo for medical appointments or other purposes, as the station boasts numerous train connections to the city. The suggestion was raised during a city council session in June, highlighting the potential for improved transportation options for Yubari residents.
