What is it with panda-themed transportation? You wait a lifetime for a black-and-white, bamboo-eating ride to come along, then two turn up at once.
Going head-to-head with London?s new Panda taxi cabs, Tokyo has its own fleet of Skytree-circling, two-tone conveyances cleverly branded the Asakusa Ueno Panda Bus.
From Asakusa, through the maze of backstreets, all the way to the new Skytree complex, this panda goes everywhere you want to be in the city's busiest tourist area -- for free.
No tickets required, no reservations needed; just hop on and hop off, seven days a week. (No pressure to mate in the public eye either, in case you?re wondering.)
