[Asia Economy Reporter Jong-il Park] Dongjak-gu (Mayor Chang-woo Lee) is promoting the improvement of village bus boarding facilities by the end of this month to enhance the convenience of public transportation and ensure residents' safety.

Last year, the district established and replaced village bus boarding stations at a total of 7 locations, including in front of Dongjak Samil Swimming Pool and Noryangjin-dong Shindong-A River Park, managing and operating a total of 78 locations.

This year, through prior facility inspections and collecting residents' opinions, the district selected three target sites: ▲ Dongjak Silver Center Entrance (Hyeonchung-ro 4, new installation) ▲ Sungui Girls' Middle and High School (Yeouidaebang-ro 36-gil 79, replacement) ▲ Seongwon Sangteville Apartment (Sindaebang 1-ga-gil 38, replacement).

The newly installed boarding stations will improve the design and functionality of existing stations, featuring ▲ waiting chairs ▲ route maps for each bus ▲ first and last bus timetables ▲ shelters to protect against cold, rain, and wind.

The district will conduct facility inspections in the first and second halves of the year and promptly carry out maintenance when issues arise, continuously identifying new sites for installation.

Additionally, to prevent the spread of COVID-19, the district will increase disinfection frequency to twice a week starting this month for all bus stops within the area, conducting sterilization and sanitation.

For more details, contact the Transportation Administration Division (☎820-9874).

Han Dae-hee, head of the Transportation Administration Division, said, “We hope that through this project, many residents will be able to use village buses conveniently and safely. We will continue to carefully address residents' daily inconveniences and do our best to improve the public transportation environment and convenience.”

This year, to strengthen public transportation services, the district plans to expand the installation of BIT (Bus Information System) at 10 village bus stops in cooperation with Seoul City and the Village Bus Transportation Association, providing residents with bus arrival notification services.
