Moritake public transport routes

This is a list of public transport routes in the city of Moritake.

## Buses and trams

Bus and tram routes are managed by the Moritake Public Transport Management Commission (MPTMC), but they are nowadays operated by contractors since the Moritake Tramway Corporation was liquidated in the 1990s. Contractors include Moritake Citybus, Transdev, Mtrams, Keolis, G-BUS and Tranzit. The MPTMC also manages bus routes in two small cities of Hirokagami and Shibatsuki, as well as six towns of Nagae, Shiboseki, Tonofuna, Eimushi, Yamaseida and Himeame.
