It is very important for local governments, which include not only depopulated area but also suburban area with increasing aging people, to enhance the mobility for elderly and disabled people by improving public transportation service. Under this condition, a lot of local governments have introduced "Community Bus Service". However, this has brought much fiscal burden on the governments. Therefore, we can say strongly that community bus system should be sustainable, reflecting traffic demand properly in each area.

Under this purpose, the following issues were examined; to clarify the characteristics of operating condition of community bus in local governments in Japan by national-wide survey, to investing the criteria of reviewing bus system and the way of introducing the criteria, and to apply these methods to "Taco Bus" in Akashi city in Hyogo prefecture.
