Northern Broad-area Late-night Bus Service Expands with 2 Additional Routes

Gyeonggi Province announced on the 16th that it plans to operate broad-area late-night bus services connecting Dongducheon and Namyangju to Seoul respectively, starting May 1.

The operating routes include Route 23, a standard bus running from Gwangneung-nae in Namyangju to Gildong in Gangdong-gu, Seoul, and Route 139-5, a deluxe bus connecting Habongam-dong in Dongducheon to Suyu-dong in Gangbuk-gu, Seoul. After midnight, each route will operate 3 times and 2 times respectively.

With the operation of broad-area late-night buses on these routes, the number of broad-area late-night bus routes operating between Seoul and Gyeonggi Province will increase from the existing 22 to 24 routes.

Gyeonggi Province plans to support 50% of the operational deficits incurred by transportation companies operating late-night bus services through provincial funding.
