Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

When I changed the 1,000-yen bill before I got off, I inserted the bill and let go, and it seemed to jam.
And the driver said, "Please don't force your way in!!" I think I had a mechanical problem. I was very uncomfortable that I was reprimanded as if it was my own fault for not checking well.
Please be careful if you are taking a bus in Matsusaka City.

I got on from the bus stop in front of the Geku and it was ridiculously full. We dropped off a few people along the way, but I guess we can't increase the number of services, so we have to be patient. It's about 20 minutes. On the way back, I took a bus from Naiku to Iseshi Station. Most passengers got off at Isuzugawa Station.

Mie Kotsu is one of the group companies of Kitetsu (Kintetsu Railways) which is the largest railway company, excluding JR Group, in Japan. It has a good network in whole Prefecture of Mie and in the city of Tsu offers best transport service (excluding JR and Kintetsu Railways).
Service is, like many others in Japan, punctual and friendly. Ticket cost is quite reasonable - inside the city centre a fixed ticket price is applied.
This is the best mean of moving around in the City.
The company also offers long distance services to the cities, such as Yokohama, Tachikawa, Shinjuku and/or Omiya, Kyoto, from Tsu. (Please check their Route Map and Time Table on their website.)

During my visit to Ise, I used a bus to go back and forth between Geku and Naiku.
The first time I asked about using coupons, I was told "It doesn't matter!" and dismissed it.
The second time, I checked the price and how to use it, but without even glancing at me, the machine operated the machine silently and displayed the amount. I think I heard a click of the tongue as well.
It's great that a lot of people come to visit Ise without having to do anything.
Do you get angry because you get tangled up with ignorant tourists every day on a fully loaded bus?
I thought being a driver was a customer service job in a sense, but how much do you get paid just for driving wildly with the accelerator fully open?
Why not let robots do the work like your local restaurant?
In any case, it was a great job that blew away my faith and memories.
I will never use it again. thank you very much.

Use Kuwana-controlled bus to Nagoya.
On the way, there was a car barging in, pushing the horn for about five seconds, and then saying, "Die!" "Oh, my God!" the driver shouted.
Lately, the quality of Mie Kotsu drivers has declined considerably and I am afraid to ride.

I took the Mie Kotsu bus for the first time and it was an incredible experience. I took the wrong bus and got off at the last stop I had no idea about. I asked the driver where I was and I wanted to go, but what should I do? The driver 1) couldn't speak Japanese, 2) couldn't understand what I was asking or asking for advice, 3) didn't know where I was in the first place (only the name of the bus stop), so I got on the shuttle bus driven by the driver. 1) He couldn't answer the simple question of whether he wanted to go to XX station again and again 2) He passed XX station and arrived at the next XX station, where I got off in a hurry. I assumed the driver was a young Japanese man, so when I got off I spoke a couple of very simple lines of English. I knew from experience that the English ability of the people in the ASEAN region was much higher than that of the Japanese, so I thought the driver was from Asia, where Japanese is not my native language. The driver was completely unresponsive to my English, which he spoke at a very basic and slow pace, and for the third time he said, "Hmm?" I just said that. Perhaps the driver is Japanese, barely able to hear or speak Japanese, and not capable of understanding the intent of the question. I was not so much uncomfortable as very, very scared. Please hire a driver with the minimum ability to create a conversation.

Perfect timing of the bus...I thought I´d have to take a taxi but the bus was there when needed and at an excellent price.

It depends on the person, but the attitude really sucks. I'm a student. I use the bus.
The driver said he would hold on to the railing for the safety of the bus. A woman who is not me is holding onto the railing and the driver says, "Please hold onto the railing!!" 'Oh, my God!' she yelled at me. And many times after that, she said, "That's the woman in front of you, don't you know?" He said it as if he was looking down on me. I was just watching, but that one was clearly holding on to the railing, and the lady's friend was surprised. It can't be.
The driving was rough.
It's another story.
I forgot to touch my IC card when boarding. I'm sorry, but then I said to the driver, "You didn't touch me when I got on. You know what I mean. Don't you use it all the time?" After that, I was told a lot about what to do when riding at length. This driver was also uncomfortable saying it with disrespect. But this is my fault.
To be honest, Mie Kotsu sucks. It's pretty depressing to think that you'll have to use it forever until you graduate. I want you to think more about the feelings of your customers.
