The Kawasaki City Transportation Bureau will hold its "experiential" city bus depot tours for elementary school students this August, which are very popular every year. To help participants experience city buses as a familiar form of public transportation, they can actually try operating equipment in the driver's seat, assist with wheelchair boarding, and tighten wheel nuts on the large bus tires, experiencing the jobs of drivers and vehicle maintenance staff. Please join us to make wonderful summer memories!
