Hwaseong Dongtan 2 New City Express Buses M4130·M4137 Increase Weekend Service

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Jung Jun-sung] Hwaseong Special City announced on the 23rd that it will implement increased weekend service on express bus (M-Bus) routes M4130 and M4137 to improve public transportation convenience for citizens during weekends.

The city will expand the number of weekend vehicles and service frequency on both routes starting from the 27th to respond to increasing transportation demand from weekend visits to Seoul, cultural and leisure activities, and family outings, and to reduce the inconvenience of long waits at bus stops due to extreme summer heat.

The increased service will shorten weekend intervals, reducing citizen waiting times and providing more convenient and comfortable public transportation service. In particular, transportation convenience is expected to improve for citizens traveling to major Seoul destinations such as Seoul Station and Myeongdong, and it is anticipated to help alleviate weekend traffic congestion.

Meanwhile, the city plans to add nine double-decker wide-area buses by the end of this year to expand seat capacity and add two additional shuttle bus routes (F and G, 5 vehicles, 50 trips) around Dongtan Station to improve accessibility to the station.

Currently, the Dongtan Station shuttle buses have been operating five routes (A to E) with 17 vehicles since January 26, running 219 times daily.
