Uiwang City Operates 9 Electric Low-Floor Buses on Route 03

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Jung Jun-sung] Uiwang City announced on the 22nd that it has been officially operating 9 electric low-floor buses on Route 03 (operated by Uiwang Transportation) since the 17th.

The electric low-floor buses running on this route, which operates from Moraksan Hyundai Apartment through Pyeongchon Academy District and Beomgye Station to Gwanak Town, produce no exhaust emissions and generate minimal noise and vibration, allowing passengers to use public transportation in a more pleasant environment.

Additionally, with the low-floor design, boarding and alighting convenience for pregnant women, the elderly, and people with disabilities is expected to improve significantly.

The city plans to introduce an additional 14 electric low-floor buses in the second half of this year to realize eco-friendly carbon neutrality as a national policy and to promote convenient facilities for transportation-disadvantaged groups, strengthening efforts in building transportation infrastructure so that more citizens can use public transportation safely and conveniently.

Choi Soon-man, head of the Public Transportation Division, said, "We will continue to expand the introduction of electric low-floor buses so that many citizens, including transportation-disadvantaged groups such as people with disabilities, can use public transportation safely and conveniently."
