Suwon City Introduces 'Congestion Level' Notification Service on City Buses

[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Suwon City in Gyeonggi Province introduced a 'Bus Information System' that informs passengers of bus congestion levels in January.

Suwon City announced on the 3rd that it has built a 'Bus Information System,' a system that allows passengers to check bus congestion levels in advance and choose a less crowded bus, and started the service this month.

The city invested a total of 920 million KRW in the Bus Information System construction project.

Bus congestion is expressed as 'Available' when there are 20 or fewer passengers on board, 'Normal' when there are 35 or fewer, and 'Crowded' when there are 36 or more.

Since starting the Bus Information System pilot project in 2006, the city has expanded the bus arrival notification service every year to improve public transportation services, currently installing it at 1,043 out of 1,081 bus stops.

A city official emphasized, "We will continue to develop various services from the perspective of bus users to further improve the public transportation environment and convenience."
