Trains and buses in the Tokyo metropolitan area normally operate March 27 12:29

On the 28th and 29th, which calls for a less urgent outing in Tokyo and elsewhere, major transportation such as railways and local buses in the Tokyo metropolitan area will operate as usual.

Railway

JR does not take any special measures for both Shinkansen and conventional trains at this time, and will operate on regular schedules, as well as subways and private railway companies.

A railroad company official said, "Since there are no requests from Tokyo or the government for suspension or reduced flights, we have decided to operate as usual."

bus

Route buses that run in Tokyo are scheduled to operate on regular schedules, except for some routes that have already been suspended or reduced flights due to the decrease in passengers.

Railway and bus companies want to continue to operate while taking measures to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus, such as opening windows and providing ventilation and disinfecting straps and handrails. It also means that there are no special plans for expressways in the Tokyo metropolitan area, such as restrictions on traffic.
