Gwangmyeong City to Launch Village Bus Route 'Gwangmyeong 02' from the 23rd

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Yu Je-seong] Gwangmyeong City announced on the 20th that it will establish a new village bus route 'Gwangmyeong 02' connecting the Gwangmyeong-dong redevelopment area and major subway stations, commencing full-scale operations from the 23rd.

The launch of this new route was pursued to respond to surging public transportation demand amid ongoing occupancy of large-scale redevelopment complexes in the Gwangmyeong-dong area and to resolve residents' commuting inconveniences.

The Gwangmyeong 02 route passes through a total of 10 apartment complexes, including 4 newly developed redevelopment complexes and 6 existing apartment complexes, and connects major transportation hubs such as Gwangmyeongsageori Station on Line 7 and Guil Station on Line 1.

As a result, residents in the Gwangmyeong-dong area, which has experienced significant population influx, are expected to see greatly improved subway accessibility, and enhanced convenience in moving between major residential zones within the area.

The route operates from Gwangmyunjunghakgyo (starting point) via Gwangmyeong 7-dong Administrative Welfare Center and Gwangmyeongsageori Station, passing through redevelopment complexes such as Triusperfect Apartment and Zythe Sapfiore Apartment, and terminates at Guil Station.

Seven buses will be deployed on this route with a 9-13 minute operating interval. Service runs from 6:00 a.m. (first departure) to 11:00 p.m. (last departure).

Mayor Park Seung-won stated, "Going forward, we will continue to expand public transportation routes in alignment with occupancy timelines of each development area to create a convenient transportation environment that residents can experience."
