In the Arashiyama area, Arashiyama Jidosha Shokai started business and operated the route from Senbon-dori Marutamachi-dori streets to Arashiyama Togetsu-kyo Bridge via Uzumasa, but due to the adverse effects caused by the competition with Arashiyama Electric Railway, which was under the direct control of Kyoto Dento, it was also acquired by Kyoto Dento, and Arashiyama Bus Co., Ltd. was established in 1938.
一方の嵐山方面は嵐山自動車商会が創業し、京都市内の千本通丸太町通から太秦経由・嵐山渡月橋に至る営業路線を運行してきたが、次第に京都電燈直営の嵐山電鉄との競合による弊害が生じはじめ、おなじく京都電燈が買収することになり、1938年、嵐山バス（株）が設立された。
