Is this the end of the commuting area from Tokyo for now?
The Sobu Line Rapid and Keiyo Line extend up to this point, but from here onwards it's the local lines of the Boso Peninsula.
This time I was on a B.B.BASE trip, boarding from Ryogoku and stopping at Hon-Chiba Station on the way, then Kazusa-Ichinomiya, where about half of the passengers with bicycles got off.
B.B.BASE's operating stops at Chiba and Soga are not considered boarding or alighting stations, so it takes a long time considering there are many stations it passes through, but the ride is comfortable so it's not an issue.
