As Japan's population continues to age and depopulate, public transportation is decreasing or being withdrawn, and opportunities for mobility, especially in depopulated areas with elderly people, are significantly declining. Under these circumstances, the public transportation bus network needs to be fundamentally revised in order to ensure freedom of movement for the elderly who cannot drive their own cars. Each city has developed a Public Transportation Master Plan to ensure local mobility. However, in order to evaluate whether these plans are sufficiently effective, it is necessary to compare and analyze multiple plans. This study takes several public transportation plans and analyzes the scatter plots and topics that appear, with the aim of finding problems related to urban public transportation.
