History

Keihan Bus Company was established on 22 July 1922^[1] as a taxi company called Momoyama Motor Co., Ltd.(桃山自動車株式会社). In 1924 it became a subsidiary of Keihan, which runs the Keihan Electric Railway. It later merged with other transportation companies, including Daigo Kisen and Jōhoku Motor Co. in 1930, and Keihan-Uji Kotsu and Keihan Uji Kotsu Tanabe in 2006. As a result of these mergers, Keihan Bus has acquired an extensive service area in Osaka, Kyoto and Shiga Prefecture.
