This license application had been made in accordance with the request of residents living along the route between Yodo and Uji where there had been no bus service despite people's frequent intercommunications between the Uji and Yodo areas (then Yodo-cho, Kuse County).
この理由は沿線住民の要望があったのと宇治地区と淀地区（当時は久世郡淀町）との往来が多いものの淀より宇治までのバス路線が存在していなかった事によるものである。
