The city has taken a step forward in plans for its IR bid, considering public transport infrastructure to connect the resort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Japan.- Wakayama has announced plans to conduct joint research with Nankai Electric Railway on the provision of new public transport access to its potential IR development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The city intends to bid for one of Japan’s three licences to develop an integrated resort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nankai Electric Railway Co. has proposed the introduction of a Bus Rapid Transport (BRT) system with dedicated bus lanes in addition to the city’s existing buses. The system would increase the transport links available to the intended resort. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The company will begin joint research with Wakayama city to consider its feasibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
By improving connections from main transport hubs to tourist spots, it would attract new tourism and improve travel around the city, the government said this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The trial run of a route that would connect JR Wakayama Station, Nankai Electric Railway Wakayama City Station and Wakayama Marina City is scheduled for the end of the year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
