This bus company swapped employees for those who work for Horikawa Bus, Naha Bus and Ryukyu Bus since 2008. They also swapped their buses for Soya Buses. Soya Bus had company members travel to Horikawa Bus which operates around Fukuoka Prefecture and Naha Bus/Ryukyu Bus that operates around Okinawa Prefecture during summer because this company is not busy during summer. They travel to Soya Bus in Hokkaido during winter because snow is rare during winter around Kyushu region.[3]
