Gwangju Nam-gu to Operate 'Village Bus 714' Starting from the 18th

Local Route 3 Village Bus... From Bongseon and Bangnim-dong to Jiwon-dong Direction

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Seon-gang] Nam-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City announced on the 16th that it will hold the opening ceremony of village bus route 714 in front of the Nam-gu Culture and Arts Center plaza in Bongseon-dong at 10 a.m. on the 18th.

Following route 715, which started operating as the first village bus in the area in January 2018, and route 713, which began full operation as the second village bus in July of the same year, the third village bus route has been established after about a year and a half.

The newly opened village bus route 714 is expected to provide convenience in public transportation use for residents living relatively far from city bus route sections.

In particular, since it runs through the alleys around residential areas such as Bongseon-dong and Bangnim-dong to Hak-dong and Jiwon-dong in Dong-gu, it is expected to greatly benefit residents living in the residential areas of Bongseon-dong and Bangnim-dong in Nam-gu, where public transportation accessibility has been relatively inconvenient, as well as those living near the side roads around Hak-dong and Jiwon-dong in Dong-gu.

Village bus route 714 departs from in front of the Nam-gu Culture and Arts Center, passing by the old Nam-gu Office, Bongseon Samik Apartments, Bangnim Tunnel Intersection, Yeongjin Housing, then goes to Yongsan Bridge, Dong-gu Culture Center, Hongnim Bridge, and the Hak-dong Samik Ceramic Apartment complex.

The first bus departs at 6 a.m., and the last bus departs at 10 p.m., with a dispatch interval of 25 minutes.

A Nam-gu official said, “As village buses have been operating one after another in the area, the convenience of public transportation use for residents in the outskirts of the city, who had experienced great inconvenience due to the absence of city buses, has greatly improved,” adding, “We will thoroughly manage and supervise to ensure that the village buses operate without any issues.”
