Substitute transportation - Daikouyuso

Japanese: 代行輸送 - だいこうゆそう
Substitute transportation - Daikouyuso
Substituting automobiles for rail transport. For freight transport, examples include switching to trucks to streamline and consolidate unprofitable local lines, and truck transport substituting for train freight transport on lines in large cities with limited track capacity, such as the Yamanote Line in Tokyo. For passenger transport, examples include JR buses providing temporary transport until a new railway line is built. Also includes automobile replacement transport in the event of a disaster. Automobiles, which have small transport lots, are suitable for transporting cargo and passengers in sections with small volumes, and there are cases in which automobile transport has been substituted in many areas following the closure of unprofitable local lines.

Japanese:
鉄道に代えて自動車によって輸送を代行させること。貨物輸送については,不採算地方線区の合理化・集約輸送化のためにトラックに切替える場合や,東京の山手線のような線路容量に余裕のない大都市線区における荷物電車代行トラック輸送などがあり,旅客輸送では,JRバスが鉄道新設までの暫定輸送を行う場合などが,その例である。また,災害の場合の自動車振替輸送もこれに含まれる。輸送ロットの小さい自動車は,貨物量および旅客量の少い区間の輸送に適しており,地方赤字ローカル線の廃止に伴って,多くの地域で自動車輸送に代替されていった例もある。
