railsquid Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Apparently these electric half-bus, half-Martian rover robots have been prowling the streets of Ikebukuro since late 2019: "Ikebus" by Rail Squid, on Flickr I haven't been out much in the last year or so for some reason, which explains why I never came across one before.

JR 500系 Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 WOW! Now if you know me you know i'm dying for a model of this! Looks so cute and compact, and environmental friendly! It kinda looks like a real life Charge-Q bus wahahaha... Do they only prowl on the Ikebukuro area, hence the name IKEbus? Here's another bucket list for me to ride once i get back to Japan! 3 Link to comment
