In 2022, the road passenger transport industry in Japan employed approximately 410 thousand people on average, decreasing from roughly 550 thousand people in 2013.
The industry has struggled in recent years with labor shortages, and concerns about its wellbeing seem justified, considering the average age of taxi drivers was around 60 years and that of bus drivers was 52 years in 2020.
