Daejeon City Opens and Offers Free Service at Panam Station Transfer Parking Lot

[Asia Economy (Daejeon) Reporter Jeong Il-woong] Daejeon City has completed the construction of the transfer parking lot at Panam Station on Urban Railway Line 1 and will operate it free of charge starting from the 30th of this month.

According to the city on the 25th, the Panam Station transfer parking lot was created to minimize traffic volume entering the city center from the outskirts and other cities, and to facilitate transfers for urban railway users.

The construction of the transfer parking lot began in June last year and was completed last month.

Previously, the city purchased a 2,614.5㎡ land within the Dong-gu Panam District urban development project area, then built a three-story steel frame parking structure with 247 parking spaces and a storage rack capable of holding 100 bicycles.

The operation of the transfer parking lot will be managed by the Urban Railway Corporation. The corporation plans to initially open 55 spaces on the first floor from 5:30 AM to midnight on the 30th, then sequentially open the second floor, third floor, and rooftop based on user demand.

Additionally, after monitoring the increase in users, the corporation will consider switching to a paid system once profitability is secured.

With the opening of the transfer parking lot, it is expected that urban railway usage will increase among residents of Dong-gu and neighboring areas such as Okcheon and Geumsan. The city also anticipates additional benefits such as a reduction in illegal parking around Panam Station and revitalization of the commercial district.

Meanwhile, existing transfer parking lots on Urban Railway Line 1 in Daejeon include Tanbang Station (156 spaces) and Banseok Station (247 spaces). The city also plans to start construction of the Hyeonchungwon Station transfer parking lot within this month, securing a total of 240 parking spaces.
