From what I understand, the Kyoto buses have a flat rate of 230 yen. I am with my gf and the first time we rode, it went smoothly after we inserted 500 yen. On the way back on the same bus (206) to Kyoto station, we tried to insert a 500 yen coin for the two of us. It was processed but the bus driver didn’t let us go down saying we still owe money (i think). So we were forced to insert another 500 yen coin. Ending is that we only got 40 yen as change from the 1000 yen we paid for our bus ride home. Is it just me or does this not make any sense at all? The driver didn’t waste time trying to explain probably since he didn’t know English.
Any clarifications on this is appreciated. Thanks!
