In this study, we will take up Kyoto Rakunan Express (R'EX), which has been in operation since October 2010 and has been increasing in number of bus passengers for more than 9 years. Along with the record that the number of passengers continued to increase, we examined the factors behind the increase in the number of employees by companies along the line. As a result, it was clarified that there is a possibility that the town could be changed by enhancing the bus traffic such as enhancing the transportation capacity, improving the waiting environment for the bus, and introducing an in-vehicle monitor and a bus location system.
