Hwaseong City Holds Opening Ceremony for H123 Bus Route Between Hyungnam and Pyeongtaek Jije Station

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Choi Ki-ho] Hwaseong City held the opening ceremony for the H123 city bus route between Hyungnam New Town and Pyeongtaek Jije Station at Hyungnam Transfer Terminal on the 30th.

The opening ceremony was attended by approximately 50 people including Hwaseong Mayor Jeong Myeong-geun, Hwaseong City Council Speaker Kim Kyung-hee, and city and provincial council members.

The H123 route departs from Hyungnam Intercity Bus Terminal, passes through Hyungnam Station, Hyungnam Pharmaceutical Complex, Yanggam-myeon, and Samsung Electronics Pyeongtaek Campus, and serves Pyeongtaek Jije Station.

This new bus route is expected to significantly improve transportation access for residents in areas such as Hyungnam-eup and Yanggam-myeon, which have had relatively limited public transportation.

Additionally, with the connection between Hyungnam Station (West Coast Line), set to open next year, and Pyeongtaek Jije Station (high-speed rail and Line 1), a metropolitan transit transfer system will become possible, which is expected to help expand the area benefiting from railway services.

Hwaseong Mayor Jeong Myeong-geun stated, "We expect improved transportation access in the western region of Hwaseong through the connection of Hyungnam Station and Jije Station," and added, "We will continue to improve the public transportation system for citizens' transportation welfare."
