Mission

The reason for a bus company to create a society that puts dog lovers first.

BUS COMMUNICATOR

Reason 1
We aim to offer unprecedented value that has never been experienced before.

BUS COMMUNICATOR

In 1999, B-I-G. started as a bus company. Since then, we have been providing bus transportation for various purposes, including travel, business, wedding transportation, transportation of athletes at international sporting events, and transportation of state guests and dignitaries.
In 2021, we rebranded ourselves as "Bus Communicator" with the goal of offering a new and enhanced bus riding experience. This rebranding reflects our commitment to providing unprecedented new value in bus transportation by coordinating ride times for passengers and offering sightseeing opportunities.

Reason 2
Developed Japan's first “Doggie Dedicated Bus” that allows you and your doggie to ride together as a family.

In Japan's aging society, the lives of pets and people are becoming increasingly important. With this in mind, we, as "Bus Communicator," have started developing the "Doggie Dedicated Bus" to address the need for people to travel with their pets as if they were family members.
After conducting various tests and trials focusing on seat size, flooring quality, and interior color, we successfully created Japan's first "Doggie Dedicated Bus." The bus, which has wider seating space and roll screen partitions between the aisles, is comfortable for both small and large dogs, providing a pleasant ride for both owners and their pets. This initiative received significant media attention, and we began to dream big.

TRAVEL REVOLUTION

Reason 3
Introducing a travel style designed for dog lovers.WanWan Travel

We launched the pet tourism business "WanWan Travel" to create a dog lover-first society. We offer one-day tours in the Kanto area, including Hakone and Yokohama, as well as excursions in Tateshina and Karuizawa in collaboration with doggie hotels. Our tours have received high satisfaction from doggie owners, leading to many repeat customers. We have also received requests for breed-specific tours, increasing expectations for "WanWan Travel." Additionally, we are working with "inumo Shiba Koen," a full-service hotel for pet dogs in Tokyo, to revolutionize pet tourism by offering one-day tours in the Tokyo metropolitan area and transportation services to airports, train stations, and other destinations.

BIG CHALLENGE

Reason 4
We will enhance new business opportunities by prioritizing doggie and their owners.

Our experience operating "WanWan Travel" tours led us to expand our dream. We observed the interaction between dog lovers and their pets on board and at the sightseeing spots we visited. This made us wonder if it would be possible to break down the invisible barriers between people and their pets in daily life, and live a more normal life together.
These thoughts inspired us to take on the challenge of developing a new business. For example, we considered whether it would be possible to operate a bus for doggie at bus terminals in major cities throughout Japan. We also wondered if we could offer dog insurance that would be closely related to the lives of dog lovers. Additionally, we explored the possibility of increasing the number of beauty salons where owners and their furry friends can go together. We are committed to expanding the possibilities of our business for dog lovers, building on Japan's first "Doggie Dedicated Bus".

SOCIAL ISSUE

Reason 5
We will also work to address social issues and create a society that prioritizes dog lovers.

In 2022, approximately 12,000 dogs are culled annually (Ministry of the Environment Japan). This is a heartbreaking reality for those of us who find solace in the companionship of dogs. We have launched our business to address the social issues related to dogs and explore innovative solutions. For instance, we are considering the possibility of using our "Doggie Dedicated Bus" to reduce the number of dogs being put down. We are exploring options such as taking dogs to visit children's facilities. In a time when the coexistence of people and pets is widely accepted in Europe and the United States, we are committed to taking on new challenges with the goal of fostering a society that prioritizes the well-being of dogs in Japan.
