There was an apo in Yokohama from 15:00 on this day, so I decided to take a bus departing at 13:48 from the nearest BRT Kachidoki stop with a little extra time. Depending on the length of the articulated bus, the stop facility had a long roof. I don't think it's hard to wait for the bus on a rainy day.

Is it about time for the bus to come? And when I looked at the intersection, I approached him.…

Maybe that's…

My longing…

It's a two-way bus!

I wait for the bus ride order while being excited about the first two-way bus ride in my life.
The BRT bus, which quietly slipped into the stop, opened the front entrance to carry passengers. At the same time, two entrances in the back were opened, so for a moment (can I get on from behind?) I thought, but it seems that I can only get on before (so yes).

If you quickly pay the fare with an IC card, the passengers on the bus are sparse because it is only during the daytime on weekdays. Fortunately, the last seat was vacant, so I went on a lot and sat down.

Yes, this is the scenery from the last seat. As expected, it's a two-way bus. Long------h! The power of the body with a total length of 18m was more than expected.
Only the last seat is raised by about two steps, but all other floors are flat. It seems that strollers and wheelchairs are also easy to move. In addition, the row in front of the last seat is a face-to-face box seat, so you can feel a little train feeling (laughs).

A slightly hard sheet is comfortable to sit.

When the bus leaves Kachidoki stop, crosses Tsukiji Ohashi and passes by Hamarikyu to Shimbashi Station.
Although the traffic increased and the speed decreased slightly from around the old fruit and vegetable gate where Loop Route 2 and Shin-ohashi-dori St. meet, we arrived at the BRT Shimbashi stop in no time. I got on the bus at 13:48, and arrived at Shimbashi stop at 13:55. It takes only 7 minutes. As expected, the bus high-speed transportation system. It's the speed appropriate for that name.
The stop is in front of Shiodome Nippon Television, so it is a little distance to JR Shimbashi Station, but when you actually walk, you will arrive at the JR ticket gate in about 3-4 minutes. 14:00 In time for the Tokaido Line departing from Shimbashi, I was standing at JR Yokohama Station at 14:24. It takes 36 minutes to Yokohama after taking the bus. Yes, it's fast! In the future, when I go to Yokohama, this route using BRT is likely to become a standard.
