  • Community Development and Local Public Transportation Systems
    Community Development and Local Public Transportation Systems Shunsuke Kimura Professor, Faculty of Law, Graduate School of Law, Hitotsubashi University I Introduction The term public transportation is generally used to mean “common carriers (businesses that offer their services to all people who request transportation)”1, and local public transportation systems indicate buses and other means of public transportation provided for the daily movement of people within a region. Local public transportation systems are an important area of local administration and it can be said that it is gaining further importance in recent years. Then, why are local governments getting involved in local public transportation systems? The reason has to do with the idea of “livelihood support.” It is essential for residents in leading their daily lives related to food, clothing and shelter, to move, including going shopping, medical care facilities and educational facilities. Particularly, for people who have difficulty in traveling by private vehicles (hereinafter referred to as “people with limited mobility”), local public transportation systems, such as vehicles and other means of transportation, are an essential element in their lives as residents. For these reasons, in order to respond to the administrative demand to secure the “means of transportation for livelihood,” local governments have, to date, played a part in local public transportation systems as a basic administration service to support residents’ livelihood. It should be noted here that focusing on the vehicle transportation business, private bus operators account for the bulk (98%) of vehicle transportation operators in Japan because they can be operated with smaller capital investment than the railway business (Figure 13 shown below).
