Yongin City Launches New Route 21 City Bus Connecting Songjeon Terminal to Yongin City Hall

[Suwon Ilbo=Park No-hun] Starting on March 29, Yongin City will launch and operate a new Route 21 city bus line departing from Songjeon Terminal in Idong-eup, passing through Deokseong-ri and Cheonli and Yeokbuk District, and heading to Yongin City Hall.

The new route is designed to improve public transportation accessibility for residents of Cheoin-gu's Idong-eup and the southeastern areas, where public transit use has been inconvenient.

The line operates from Songjeon Terminal, passing through Yeokbuk District including the Myongji University Entrance intersection, and continues to Yongin City Hall.

Previously, residents of Idong-eup had to transfer through Yongin Terminal, but the new route now enables more convenient connections to light rail transit and express buses. The new line will operate 24 times daily with 30-50 minute intervals between services.

Additionally, the city is examining various options to enable residents of Mohyeon-eup, Namsa-eup, and Wonsam-myeon to more conveniently access Yeokbuk District and City Hall through extended existing routes and new lines during commute hours.

Yongin Mayor Baek Kun-gi stated, "We anticipate that this new route will improve citizens' transportation convenience," and added, "We will develop supplementary measures for transportation-disadvantaged groups and areas with limited public transit access to establish a transportation network that satisfies all citizens."
