The idea of a rescue bus came to the driver of Nishi Tokyo Bus four years ago, since then the company has been offering such a service. During the holidays in 2016, only 75 passengers used the bus. This year, transport will run around the city every Friday in December.

The bus catches customers at the end of the JR Chuo railway line at 00:55, when the last train arrives. There are no cheap hotels and round-the-clock restaurants here, so it is difficult for those who missed their stop to find a place to stay. For them, and let this bus. After the transport gathers all the sufferers, it will go back to the center with stops.

The passengers liked the rescue bus, and they expressed a desire for such a service to appear on other lines.
