On this Shikoku bus, drums meant you were about to roll onto the tracks

By the time the drums stopped, the bus was on rails. At Awa-Kainan Station in Kaiyo, Tokushima, riders could feel the front tip up as the steel wheels came down. The drums were recorded by students from Kaifu High School. You can see the front rail wheels just below the blue bus’s license plate in the photo from nearby Kaifu Station. As of November 15, the rail-buses are still suspended. The stop for the regular bus to Toyo is a two-minute walk from Awa-Kainan Station. Look for Kaifu High School, the same school whose drums played on board.
