Reply To: Boarding bus in Kyoto
Took your advice and boarded at Kyoto on the 205 bus. I inquire with the bus staff/usher at the stop that I wanted to go to Kinkaku-ji Temple and he told me to wait first in line.
When the bus arrived, it pass the opening and had to reverse so that the ramp can be deployed. It got very crowded, with each stop more folks squeezed onto the already crowded bus.
