Route 5401 Electric Two-Story Bus Service Launched Between Pyeongtaek Godeok New City and Seoul's Gangnam Station

[Suwon Ilbo=Lee Su-won] Pyeongtaek City held an inaugural ceremony on the 8th for Route 5401, a metropolitan-class two-story electric low-floor bus that will operate between Godeok New City and Gangnam Station.

This is the final project among a total of six initiatives under the Godeok International New City Metropolitan Transportation Special Measures District designation, with service scheduled to begin on the 9th.

The two-story electric bus being introduced has a capacity of 70 passengers (11 on the first floor, 59 on the second floor), which is approximately 1.6 times higher than standard metropolitan buses with 45-seat capacity, and is expected to significantly enhance convenience for citizens using metropolitan bus services.

Pyeongtaek Mayor Jeong Jang-seon said, "Going forward, we will make diverse efforts to expand metropolitan bus service and improve convenience for citizens commuting between Pyeongtaek and Seoul."
