Osan City to Increase Bus Route 202 Operations Starting Next Month

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Kim Gab-dong] Osan City announced on the 28th that it will expand operations of the Route 202 city bus starting from the first service on next month in response to increased apartment occupancy in Segyo 2 District.

This bus increase is being implemented to address growing public transportation demand as residents continue to move into apartments in Segyo 2 District. The city plans to expand service frequency and adjust dispatch intervals to reflect concentrated commuting demand during peak hours and improve operational efficiency of the route.

Route 202 connects Segyo 1 and 2 Districts, areas surrounding Sema Station and Byeongjeom Station, Suwon City Hall Station, and Ajou University Hospital. As it passes through areas with high demand for school commutes and work-related travel, it serves as a major transit corridor linking Osan and Suwon.

Accordingly, the city will begin increased operations of Route 202 starting from the first service on next month, connecting Segyo 1 and 2 Districts with the Suwon area.

The increase amounts to a total of three additional buses. As a result, Route 202 will expand from the existing 16 buses to a total of 19 buses on weekdays, and daily operating trips will increase from 74 to 88.

Dispatch intervals are expected to improve from the existing 13-17 minutes to an average of 11-13 minutes. The city anticipates that this service increase will alleviate congestion during commuting hours and further enhance bus user convenience.
