Sources have revealed that Nishitetsu is considering launching a tourist bus service linking the popular hot spring towns of Beppu and Yufuin in Oita Prefecture. It is also looking into revamping the bus center located in front of JR Yufuin Station and adding staff to assist tourists. Nishitetsu is looking to beef up its bus services to accommodate the anticipated uptick in visitors to Oita Prefecture in line with the opening of a new stretch of the Higashi Kyushu Expressway between the Buzen and Usa exits. The new Yufuin-Beppu loop bus could go be ready as early as Golden Week and would be operated by Beppu-based Kamenoi Bus, a Nishitetsu subsidiary. Source: Nishinippon Shimbun 3/3
