Template:Short description Template:Infobox bus line

The Script error: No such module "Nihongo". is a bus rapid transit line in Nagoya, Aichi, Japan. The line is officially called the Script error: No such module "Nihongo".. Its official nickname, Yutorito Line, is a portmanteau of yutori Script error: No such module "Nihongo". and Script error: No such module "Nihongo"..

The line is owned by Script error: No such module "Nihongo"., itself owned by the City of Nagoya Municipal Government, Development Bank of Japan, Meitetsu (Nagoya Railroad), JR Tokai Bus Company, and MUFG Bank. It opened on March 23, 2001.

Overview

The line consists of the guided bus segment on a viaduct dedicated track in central Nagoya and the ordinary bus segment on public roads. Vehicles go directly between the two segments. The guided bus segment runs between Ōzone in Higashi Ward and Obata Ryokuchi in Moriyama Ward. Nagoya Guideway Bus Co. manages the guideway facilities and cars, while Nagoya Municipal Bus operates buses on the line.

The Yutorito Line is the only guided bus line in Japan. The line is legally considered to be a type of railway, with the elevated section treated as a type of tram.[1] The operation of the line thus adheres to the laws of the Railway Business Act, similar to monorails and automated guideway transit in the country.

Originally Meitetsu Bus and JR Central Bus also operated buses on the line. The two operators withdrew from the line on October 1, 2009.
