Getting here and away
The Toki-Liner intercity buses leave from the Bandai exit and call at Bandai City and Furumachi on their way out of the city. This board shows the operators that publish live positions: Niigata Kotsu, Echigo Kotsu, Kubiki Jidosha and IK Alliance.
Niigata's city buses (the BRT Bandai-bashi Line) are not in the open data used here. The Sado Kisen terminal is about 3 km north at Bandai-jima; its boats are on the Sado ferry page.
How to read this
live Live: the operator's own position and delay for that bus, updated every 15 seconds.
timetable Timetable: the published time. The bus or boat is not reporting a position, so the minutes are from the timetable, not from where it is.

KUON GEO NEXT shows, for one place, the next departure of everything that leaves from it. It is built from the open data that Japanese operators publish, and it says on every line whether the number is live or a timetable. It is made by KUON GEO, which measures position and the sky in Japan.
