The Nishi-Nippon Railway Co. (Nishitetsu) and Miyazaki Kotsu announced they will suspend their late night express bus service between Fukuoka City and Miyazaki City on September 1. The reason cited is a 20% drop in passenger totals since the introduction at the end of March of 1,000 yen tolls on expressways in conjunction with the introduction of an electronic toll collection system. Nishitetsu said that personnel costs meant the late-night service had always lost money, but that the route itself had been profitable overall. Deteriorating economic conditions changed that.
