TRANSPORT SYSTEMS * Japanese Buses
If you travel to japan no doubt you will be using the bus services providedTokyio,Japan -Traded Name, by Uradox (Australia) -9 Nov 2007: -- They are not ‘quite’ as generic as I am used to in some western places. For instance, travelling around Nagoya ill cost you 200yen each way unless you get a bus pass (for weekend use) for 600yen. In Kyoto it depends how far you travel and the 500yen bus pass has limited use... Also, in Nagoya you pay upfront where as in Kyoto you pay as you get off. Imagin the fun when the whole bus wants to get off at the train station... Notice the box next to the drive, you drop all your coins to the sum of your fair in there and the machine counts it. Quite smart, also quite old in Japan. No need to insert your coins one by one. These buses also accept notes as you can see down the bottom, 1000yen ones anyway. In Australia I have never seen a bus yet where you can use notes and fare interaction always involved the bus driver... 
When you are driving around on the bus you can pay attention to how much your fee is going to cost when you get off. Interestingly, the driver trusts your honesty... Some buses are city run while others are privately run. You will notice that often the driver will announce each stop, pays to brush up on how to say your destination in Japanese...
