As the number of users of railways and buses is decreasing due to the influence of the new corona, the National Governors' Association has requested the LDP Parliamentary Union to establish a new subsidy system for businesses in order to maintain and secure the transportation network. ..
In public transportation such as railroads and buses nationwide, the number of users is decreasing due to the influence of the new corona in addition to the declining population, and maintaining the route is an issue.
Governor Hirai of Tottori Prefecture, who is the chairman of the National Governors' Association, attended the meeting of the Liberal Democratic Party Parliamentary Union, which was held on the 26th, and handed over the request.
According to the request, public transportation is indispensable for promoting regional revitalization, and once the route is abolished, it cannot be easily revived. We are requesting that we provide management support for the company.
Based on the request on the 26th, the Parliamentary Union will listen to the opinions of business operators and others, and will compile a proposal to the government next month.
