    Very easy to use. Convenient to be able to view tickets without an internet connection.“You just need to download the app—it’s very quick, and the tickets are easily accessible. The staff on site can scan them quickly, which helps avoid unnecessary queues at the ticket counters.

    Since,I'm new visitor to Kyoto , I couldn't locate where in Kyoto Station your buses were located. On the brochure is should indicated 'Bus Terminal'. Lack of Signage can be confusing. This bus tour gave me insight of Kyoto. I stayed on the bus for East line than continue on with West Line. Lack of coordination on went the bus will stop to get off. There should be signal of the next Stop. So folks can get Off.
