【徹底解説】鉄道未経験のバス会社が日本最悪の赤字鉄道の運行を担った結果【京都丹後鉄道】

Kyoto Tango Railway, which has a railway network in northern Kyoto Prefecture and the Tajima region of Hyogo Prefecture, has three lines: the Miyafuku Line (Miyazu-Fukuchiyama), the Miyamai Line (Nishi-Maizuru-Miyazu), and the Miyatoyo Line (Miyazu-Toyooka). The Kyoto Tango Railway was originally a third-sector railway (or more accurately, its successor) that recorded the worst deficit in Japan, and at one point suffered from financial difficulties to the point that discussions of whether to continue it or not arose. However, in the end, the railway was maintained, and the local governments along the line, which were shareholders, were forced to make major changes. The method used was the familiar vertical separation method, but the method was a public tender for a private company to take on a slightly unique operation. As a result, the operating company was a bus company with no experience in the railway business. We will explain what the bus company was thinking when it decided to get into the railway business, and what efforts it made to achieve successful results. We will also consider the future of Tango Railway, to a certain extent, based on various data.
