Kōtsū-kyoku-mae opened on 1 August 1924 as Ōe Shako-mae Station (大江車庫前駅), was renamed Denki-kyoku-mae (電気局前駅) in February 1935 and Kōtsū-kyoku-mae on 1 June 1944. It is stop 14 on the Suizenji Line, served by both A- and B-system trams. The stop has a crossover and a depot lead-in on the Miso-Tenjin side, and is also used as a crew-change point for some runs.

The stop's name has tracked the name of the Kumamoto city bureau that runs the tramway — "Electric Bureau" (Denki-kyoku) from 1935 and "Transportation Bureau" (Kōtsū-kyoku) from 1944 — and it still matches that of the present operator, the Kumamoto City Transportation Bureau.
