Yongin Special City Adds Two New Village Bus Routes and Increases Capacity on Two Routes in Suji-gu

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Choi Ki-ho] Yongin Special City announced on the 9th that it has improved the bus operation system by establishing two new village bus routes and increasing capacity on some routes in Suji-gu to enhance public transportation convenience for residents.

The city established village bus route 802 to improve mobility in Gogi-dong, an area with relatively poor transportation conditions, and also launched a new route 11-1 designed to complement route 11, which runs from Jukjeon Station through the Pungdeokcheon area to Migeum Station.

Route 802 will operate between Gogi-dong, Dongcheon-dong, and Suji-gu Office Station starting on the 27th. The city will initially operate one bus and decide on additional vehicles after examining demand and operating conditions.

The city will also increase village bus route 15-5, which connects Shinbong-dong and Seongbok Station, from the existing two vehicles to three vehicles starting on the 13th.

This aims to improve mobility between Shinbong-dong and Seongbok Station and distribute passengers from the congested routes 15 and 15-2 during rush hours.

Village bus route 17, which connects Dongcheon-dong, Dongcheon Station, and Migeum Station, will also increase from the existing four vehicles to five vehicles starting on the 13th. The shortened dispatch interval is expected to improve convenience for Dongcheon-dong residents.

The city operates existing village bus route 11, which runs from Jukjeon Station through Jinsan Village, Suji-gu Office Station, Pungdeokcheon-dong, to Migeum Station. To strengthen operations in the Suji-gu Office Station section, the city will deploy additional vehicles to operate the new route 11-1.

Starting on the 13th, route 11-1 will be operated by one vehicle running the Jukjeon Station-Jinsan Village-Suji-gu Office Station section. The city plans to increase the frequency of operations in this section to enhance user convenience.
