In anticipation of large crowds toward the end of the Expo period on 13 October 2025, the Japan Association for the 2025 World Exposition will implement the following changes to transportation from 13 September 2025.
New parking lots, C and D, will be opened at Maishima Expo P&R to increase capacity for private cars. In conjunction, the ATC Shuttle Bus service, which had been operating using the surplus capacity of the P&R shuttle buses, will be discontinued and integrated into the Cosmosquare service.
