### Expected Use Cases in the Seisho Area

The Seisho area of Kanagawa Prefecture includes tourist destinations such as Hakone and Odawara, creating demand for transport to and from stations and airports. Additionally, in the surrounding areas, there is demand for events such as school and hospital activities, funeral rites, and weddings. Locobus Seisho provides a system to arrange collective transportation for the necessary number of people whenever it is needed. Flexible arrangements are available for group moves of 10 or more people, corporate or facility transfers, regional events, and other group transportation.

### Features of Locobus Seisho

By providing flexible mobility design based on the number of people and purpose, it ensures that even those unfamiliar with arranging buses can use the service with peace of mind. Inquiries and consultations can be easily made via a dedicated form.

### Towards Coverage of the Entire Kanagawa Prefecture

Locobus has expanded into Yokohama, Shonan, Kawasaki, Sagamihara, Ken-o, and Seisho, adapting to the different transportation needs of each region. Characteristics vary, such as tourism and leisure in Shonan and community-based transportation in Kawasaki.
