Gwangju City to Provide 'Metropolitan Bus Integrated Traffic Information Network Service' Starting from the 18th

Gwangju City Hall

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Seon-gang] Gwangju Metropolitan City announced on the 12th that starting from the 18th, it will launch the ‘Integrated Wide-Area Bus Transportation Information Network Service’ that provides real-time wide-area bus route information identical to city bus routes through the Gwangju City Bus Operation Information website, in order to minimize inconvenience for residents of nearby local governments (Naju-si, Damyang-gun, Hwasun-gun, Hampyeong-gun) using wide-area buses.

The service for wide-area buses operates through the ‘Wide-Area Bus Information System,’ which transmits real-time location and operation status information of buses running between two or more local governments to the center. The center processes this operation information and provides users with real-time route search, route maps, passing routes, bus arrival information by stop, and bus location information through bus arrival information terminals at bus stops, the website, and apps.

Until now, since wide-area bus operation information services were not provided, citizens experienced inconvenience in usage. By providing bus information tailored to their actual living areas, it is expected that bus waiting times can be significantly reduced.

Additionally, through bus arrival information terminals installed at stops, efforts are being made to provide various information such as foreign language display, temperature, fine dust information, and disaster messages.

Son Doo-young, head of the Public Transportation Division, said, “Through the provision of wide-area bus route information this time, the convenience of citizens using public transportation will improve, and the number of public transportation users is expected to increase. We will continue to monitor bus operation status in real time and develop additional convenience features to provide citizens with more convenient and stable transportation services.”
