Buses in Tokyo

There are many bus routes in Tokyo, but it might take a lot of nerve to use it for the first time.  Actually, it is easy to take the bus once you get used to it, just like taking it in your mother country.

If you find a bus stop, the bus route and timetable will be written on the pole.  You can check the destination of the bus there.
Hop on the bus.  If you have a Suica or Pasmo (IC cards), you can pay the fee with simply holding it over the sensor.  If you don’t, you can pay by cash, putting in the coins or bill in the box next to the driver.
When the bus approaches to the stop you get off, push the button on the wall or poles, and the bus will stop there.

Below are some bus lines running in the center of Tokyo.

There are more bus lines running in a particular ward, such as Edo Bus (江戸バス) in Chuo-ku, and Nakanon (なかのん) in Nakano-ku.  The merits of using these lines are that the fee is cheap (most of them are JPY100 flat price), and there are bus stops close to each other.  Find a route in your neighbor, and make the most of it!
