Bus Service Calendar

Points to note when riding the buses

• The bus schedule may change depending on class scheduling and other events at the university. Please check the "Bus Service Calendar" above before boarding the bus.

• If the number of passengers exceeds the seating capacity and we are unable to make arrangements for an extra bus, you may be required to stand (Some buses do not have standing room). When passengers are standing, buses cannot use the bypass and will travel non-stop via National Route 9 (Oinosaka).

Change due to fare revision of Keihan-Kyoto Kotsu bus routes in accordance with the consumption tax rate increase from October 1, 2019.

• The buses are only authorized to travel on a direct route between Katsura and Kameoka Campus.

• If you use these buses without using the special coupon, you need to pay the full fare (850 yen).

• Discount tickets cannot be used on other Keihan-Kyoto Kotsu routes.

• Discount tickets cannot be refunded.
