Comment from Mr. Nagata – Enthusiasm for building sustainable transportation infrastructure

Regarding his appointment as director, Mr. Nagata said the following.

``Transportation is a social issue in Japan. Issues such as regional transportation gaps and ride sharing have now become widely recognized social issues. In the future, the key will be how relevant businesses can provide stable and detailed services to residents and inbound tourists in various parts of the country. However, transportation operators are struggling with a wide range of issues, including requests from governments and local governments due to rapid social changes, daily customer support, and improving their own management efficiency. Multifaceted support from outside is essential to overcome this situation. Under these circumstances, upon taking up the position of director (and head of marketing) of "Dennou Kotsu", which is celebrating its 10th year in business, I have worked at companies of various sizes, from venture companies to large corporations, all at once from the management layer to the field perspective. Utilizing the diverse experience and know-how that we have cultivated over the years, we would like to work hard to provide more convenient and easy-to-use solutions as Cyber ​​Transportation, which stands from the perspective of transportation operators. ”
