Nankai Sakai Shuttle

Nifty looking bus.

This appears to be a non-stop service for people from the Koya line wanting to go south on the Nankai Main Line, and vice versa.

 

Must be faster than riding five stops to Kishinosato-Tamade, then another four stops back to Sakai.

Yes, the bus line averages about three thousand passengers daily.  Off peak observation, but I have only seen a few people getting off at the Kishinosato Tamade station Koya Line platforms the several times I have used it, and I don't know if they were transfering to the Main Line or just local residents at their journey end.

I reckon those preferring an all-rail journey would just go on to Tengachaya, where there is a cross-platform transfer to Nankai Main Line trains.
