Kyoto – Maizuru Route (京都 - 舞鶴線)
Kyoto – Maizuru Route is a highway bus that connects Kyoto City and Ayabe City/Maizuru City.
The seat of all the buses must be complemented for the operation.
When Kyoto Kotsu began the operation, the route was belonged to the national highway main route bus service. There were rapid service, limited express service (they began super limited express service just before the company quit the management), and many, complicated routes.
History
April 1, 2005: They abolished the buses that had run to Hankyu Katsura Bus Stop/Shijo Kawaramachi Bus Stop. There remained only the buses that ran from/to Kyoto Station-mae.
March 21, 2006: As they had switched one of the cars to more profitable Maizuru – Kobe Route, they reduced the operations from five round services a day to four round services a day.
October 21, 2008: As they had switched the National Highway 27 route, which connected Ayabe Ankoku-ji Interchange and Kyo Tanba-wachi Interchange, to the new Kyoto Jukan Expressway route, which connected the same two bus stops, they abolished Ayabe Ohashi Bus Stop of the former route.
