TOKYO —
A panel of advisers to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism met this week to discuss drawing up a set of unified rules for the use of baby strollers on buses and trains.
The panel includes representatives from bus and rail operators, as well as lobbying organizations for childcare.
During Monday’s first meeting, JR East said it had already allocated more space for baby buggies in their newly modeled train cars, Fuji TV reported.
However, a few issues regarding manners of mothers with baby strollers were discussed as baby buggies are becoming bigger. For example, some commuters have complained about not being able to get on a bus when there are many strollers on board.
Also, some indicated that baby buggies are kept open even though there is no child in them, which get in the way of elderly and handicapped people trying to use priority seats.
Current rules regarding baby strollers vary between the operators of Japan’s various public transportation systems.
The transport ministry wants the panel to formulate a set of rules that will make public transport appealing to parents with small children, while minimizing disruption for other passengers.
