## What is Kōtsū?

Get access the latest bus departure times for the most frequently used bus routes from and to Nara Institute of Science and Technology in English and Japanese. The data is taken straight from the Nara Kotsu Website to make sure it is always correct, even on weekends and public holidays.

The app supports buses between:
- NAIST
- Gakken-Kita-Ikoma Station
- Gakuemmae Station
- Gakken-Nara-Tomigaoka Station
- Takanohara Station
- Kintetsu Nara Station

You can view all departures between point A and point B for the current and the next day, for the next weekend and weekday. Departures within the next hour are highlighted with a countdown. You always have up-to-date information on the bus line number, departure platform, trip duration, and fare. A convenient countdown is displayed for the next bus if it leaves within the next hour.
