Ganghwa County Operates Free Shuttle Buses for Local Reserve Forces Training Center Entry

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Choi Ki-ho] Ganghwa County announced that it will operate free shuttle buses to and from the training center for local reserve forces members from the 15th through December to facilitate their entry into the training grounds.

This measure comes in response to the fact that most reserve forces training centers are located in areas with poor public transportation accessibility, causing inconvenience to reserve forces members who must either drive their own vehicles or use buses with infrequent service to reach the training grounds.

Any local reserve forces member with a registered address in Ganghwa County can use the free shuttle buses. The buses will operate in three routes with three 45-seater vehicles per training date. However, the routes by course may change quarterly.

Boarding locations will have vehicle operation guidance signs installed. Local reserve forces members wishing to board should check the text message sent by the reserve forces unit and board at the designated location according to the operating schedule.

Meanwhile, the reserve forces training center was relocated from the Second Reserve Forces Training Center (Giljeong-ri, Ganghwa County) to the First Reserve Forces Training Center (Gunha-ri, Gimpo City) starting in 2024 due to safety concerns.

Acting County Head Yoon Do-young stated, "We will continue to provide wholehearted support to improve morale among local reserve forces members and enhance the training center environment."
