Yongin Special City Adds 'Myungji University Intersection' Stop to Airport Bus Route 8282

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Choi Ki-ho] Yongin Special City announced on the 16th that starting on the 22nd, it will newly add the 'Myungji University Intersection' bus stop to the airport bus route 8282 heading to Incheon International Airport.

This measure is intended to improve access to airport buses for residents of Cheoin-gu. Previously, the existing route 8282 only allowed boarding at the Yongin Bus Terminal, causing inconvenience for residents near Myungji University Intersection who wanted to use the bus service.

Airport bus route 8282 to Incheon, operated by Gyeongnam Express, will also expand the number of vehicles and service frequency along with the addition of the 'Myungji University Intersection' stop.

The number of vehicles will increase from the existing 2 to 4, and the daily service frequency will expand from 6 to 10 runs, which is expected to significantly improve convenience for airport travel.

The city expects that this route adjustment will greatly contribute to improved airport bus accessibility not only for residents in Cheoin-gu but also for existing route 8282 users.

The city will also newly open a route 84 city bus stop near the 'Myungji University Intersection' airport bus stop on the 17th. This measure aims to resolve transportation inconvenience for citizens using shops in the Yeokbuk Commercial District and improve public transportation accessibility.

Detailed route information for the bus stop can be found starting on the 17th through the 'Gyeonggi Bus Information System' (gbis.go.kr).

Mayor Lee Sang-il stated, "We arranged for buses to stop in front of Myungji University Intersection and increased the number of vehicles and service frequency to relieve the inconvenience of some citizens who had to travel to the bus terminal to take buses heading to Incheon Airport," and added, "We will continue efforts to resolve citizens' transportation inconvenience going forward."
