TYPES OF BUSES
About Introducing The Type Of Buses
The hop-on hop-off bus tour is a familiar sight in most cities around the world. In order to make it enjoyable, however, open-top double-decker buses are essential. Let us talk about the ones the Sky Hop Bus uses. Please note that we cannot arrange a bus type you may choose as we run different types each day due to the regular inspection and maintenance and other reasons.
Full-Open
Sky Hop Bus uses this type for most of our open-top double-decker buses. All seats are arranged on the upper-deck. Being on board the bus, you will be amazed by the heightened viewpoint and be attracted by the different look of the usual scenes of the city.
Half-Open
In November, 2019, we introduced as a new type of buses. On the lower deck of this bus, there is a slope to allow wheelchair users to board in their wheelchairs. The front part on the upper-deck of the half-opened type has a roof with air-conditioning. Replacing the old with the new ones is under way both in Tokyo and Kyoto.
Cabriolet
Some of the open-top double-decker buses Sky Hop Bus uses are with hood. By closing it, it blocks any sudden rainfall.
Crystal
Known as "Crystal type," this bus is glass-roofed, unique in the world. The bus is run on a flexible schedule and subject to the weather conditions and seasons so that it would help our customers to feel comfortable even in the rain, on a hot summer day or on a cold winter day with air-conditioning.
