Kyushu Railway Company has applied for government approval to increase rail fares and charges by 15%, citing the need to maintain and improve services amid challenging economic conditions. The proposed hike, aiming to address a shortfall in costs and ensure the continuation of business operations, will affect regular and commuter fares as well as Shinkansen express charges starting April 1, 2025. The company has struggled with declining transportation demand due to factors such as COVID-19, demographic changes, and competition from other transport modes.
