As we approach the one-year countdown to #Expo2025 Osaka Kansai Japan, it's an opportune moment to reflect on its theme "Designing Future Society for Our Lives." What does the Expo's central concept of "Life" mean for you? Here are some insights from International Participants.

Transport plan for Expo visitors finalized, proportion of buses reduced, traffic information consolidated The transportation plan for the 2025 Osaka-Kansai Expo site has been finalized, emphasizing a shift in visitor transportation methods. By October 10th, there was a noted decrease in shuttle bus usage from major train stations and an increase in railway ridership. This shift is partly due to a shortage of bus drivers, prompting the establishment of a traffic information center for the event. Operational tests and training are planned based on the finalized transportation strategy. The Japan Association for the International Exposition, along with a panel of experts, confirmed the "Specific Visitor Transportation Policy." On busy days, an average of 227,000 daily visitors is anticipated. The transportation access plan highlights three main methods, with updated projections showing 133,000 users for the Osaka Metro, a reduction to 26,000 for shuttle buses, and consistent usage of 68,000 for the "park and ride" option. #MotiveAsia #Japan https://lnkd.in/gCBRFcw4
