[Suwon Ilbo=Jung Jun-sung Reporter] Gyeonggi Premium Bus P5342 commenced service during commute hours starting with its first departure at 6:40 a.m. on the 10th.

The route replaces the M5342 line (Suwon Terminal~Jamsil Metropolitan Transit Center), which was discontinued in November of last year.

The Gyeonggi Premium Bus is a deluxe bus service where passengers can reserve seats through the 'MiRi' app and integrated Greater Seoul Area transfer fares apply.

Route P5342 operates one-way during commute hours. During morning commute hours, it operates from Suwon Bus Terminal toward Jamsil (6:40 a.m., 7:00 a.m., 7:20 a.m.), and during evening commute hours from Jamsil toward Suwon (6:00 p.m., 6:20 p.m., 6:40 p.m.).

A total of 3 vehicles operate 6 times daily. The Gyeonggi Circular Bus fare (3,050 won) applies.

The bus stops at Suwon Terminal, Seonil Elementary School, Namsuwon Middle School, Gyeonggi Art Center, Maetan 1-dong Community Center, Sokhwa Elementary School, Gwanggyo Central Station, then continues to Jangji Station/Garden Five, Moonjeong Legal District, Moonjeong Rodeo Street, Garak Market, Seokchon Lake, and Jamsil Station Transit Center.

Seat reservations can be made through the 'MiRi' app. Contactless payment systems and deluxe vehicles have been introduced to provide a comfortable transportation environment. The route is limited to one-way operation during commute hours, differentiating it from existing metropolitan buses.

A city official stated, "The opening of this commute-exclusive route will significantly improve travel conditions for citizens between Suwon and Jamsil," and added, "We will continue to do our best to expand safe and convenient transportation infrastructure."
