Tosaden Kōtsū


Tosaden Kōtsū (とさでん交通?) is a transportation company in Kōchi, Kōchi, Japan. The private company operates tram and bus lines.

The company was established on October 1, 2014, by merging the businesses of Tosa Electric Railway (土佐電気鉄道 Tosa Denki Tetsudō?), a tram and bus company, as well as its subsidiary Tosaden Dream Service (土佐電ドリームサービス?), a bus company, and Kōchiken Kōtsū (高知県交通?), a bus company.

Tosa Electric Railway was founded on July 8, 1903, and the tram line was opened on May 2, 1904. The company also operated a heavy railway line called Aki Line (?), but it was closed in 1974. The company was commonly known as Toden (土電?) among locals, while people in other prefectures tend to call it Tosaden (土佐電?), as the word Toden can be confusing with Tokyo Metropolitan Tramway, which was commonly called Toden (都電?).
