Abstract
This paper reports the survey results on the feasibility of extending the Japanese bus system to other countries. The bus-related actors in Japan are interviewed for understanding their opinions. The results show it is currently difficult for the Japanese actors to enter the local bus market in other countries. This is first because few Japanese bus-related actors have incentive to go abroad and second because no actor takes the leadership to manage the multiple actors. Additionally, it shows that the local bus market generally has its unique characteristics that prevent the newcomers in other countries from entering the local market, the local bus market is too small to do the bus business for private operators, and Japanese bus system has the uniqueness that may not be easily applied to other countries.
