However, there remains the situation in which no bus service is available for persons getting off the trains arriving at the central city area during the midnight period, and there are opinions that midnight buses should be available as in other big cities (at fares twice as high as those in the daytime); perhaps in response to such opinions, the operation of Kawaramachi Yoru Bus (night buses from Kawaramachi), from Kawaramachi-dori Street to Kyoto Station, have started, but extremely inconvenient situations remain unchanged in areas that are located remotely from the central city area and where no railway service is available.
それでも都心部に深夜帯に到着する列車からの乗り継ぎが出来ない事例も多く、他の大都市で見られる（運賃倍額の）深夜バスの設定を求める声が一部挙がっており、それを受けてか、河原町通りから京都駅に向けて、夜間バスかわらまち・よるバスの運行が始まったが、都心部から外れて鉄道路線が無い地域では著しく不便な状況に変わりは無い。
