A Bus in Hawaii.
When you think about a bus in Hawaii, you probably think about The Bus.
Actually, I just know The Bus here. Is there other buses??
Pictures of The Bus and famous icon are below...


Compared to Hawaii, there are many various kinds of buses in Japan.
What do you think about The Bus first when you hear it??
You may think "oh, The Bus is alway late", "The Bus is always too cold", or" The Bus is shaking all the time".
Sounds like The Bus is not good, but it's not true. There is also good point in The Bus.
For example, you can go to where you want to go just paying $2.50 by The Bus, but in Japan, except for particular area, you need to pay money depending on where you stop. In other words, your fare depends on where you want to go, not the same fare.
In long distance, you would need to pay over $5 when you use a bus in Japan.
Also, if you buy Buy Pass in Hawaii, you can use The Bus anywhere. However, because there are many bus companies in Japan, you would need to buy multiple buy pass depending on where you are for your commute.
That's huge differences.
In America, unlike Japan, having cars is common sense. If you don't have a car, you can't even work because of long long distance from home to workplace. That's why the fare of The Bus is not expensive.
What do you think??
Next, I will explain a bus in Japan and good and bad points.
HIRO

I think Japanese buses are too small compared to The Bus. Also, we have to get off from the back door unless it's too crowded. Additionally, we need to pay more than 5 dollars if we want to go somewhere far away, as you say. So, I think The Bus is much more convenient than Japanese buses although it often doesn't come on time.
