Keikamotsu is officially cargo service, but informally, it has been providing passenger service in Naha, Okinawa after World War Two. It is illegal for Keikamotsu to provide passenger service and although the number of vehicles has significantly decreased after the revision of law in 1985, Keikamotsu is still used today by the elderly and students as it is more convenient than buses and cheaper than taxies. This paper looks at the history, operation and usage features of Keikamotsu and examines the possibility of formally incorporating paratransit service into the local transportation system based on the experience of Keikamotsu. While conventional transportation service is in crisis in many regional small cities in Japan, this study aims to consider cost- and time-effective ways of improving local transportation system.
