134 Parking Spaces on a 27,906㎡ Site in Sangnam-ri, Cheongnyang-eup
Route Reorganization Implemented on the 11th... Enhancing Mobility in Ulsan's Southern Region
[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] Ulsan City will hold the 'Deokha Public Garage Construction Project Completion Ceremony' at 10:30 a.m. on the 8th at the Deokha Public Garage in Cheongnyang-eup, Ulju-gun.
The completion ceremony will be attended by about 100 people, including Ulsan Mayor Song Cheol-ho, City Council Vice Chairman Son Jong-hak and council members, Ulju County Governor Lee Seon-ho, county council members, Yang Jae-won, chairman of the Ulsan City Bus Transportation Business Association, Choi Hyun-ho, union chairman, union chairpersons of bus companies, crew members, and representatives of residents.
The Deokha Public Garage was built on a site of 27,906㎡ at 1035-6 Sangnam-ri, Cheongnyang-eup, Ulju-gun, with a total project cost of about 16 billion KRW and a total building floor area of 2,959㎡. Construction began in November 2017 and was completed in 2 years and 7 months.
The main facilities include 134 parking spaces, as well as the main building, maintenance building, car wash building, and security building.
In particular, along with the city bus CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) charging station, a bus-exclusive hydrogen charging station is expected to be completed by the end of July, paving the way for the introduction of eco-friendly hydrogen buses.
Ulsan Mayor Song Cheol-ho said, "With the expansion of routes using Deokha Public Garage as the terminal, we expect significant improvement in mobility convenience such as urban accessibility in the southern region of Ulsan and a considerable resolution of the shortage of city bus garages."
Ulsan's public city bus garages have been established in Yulli (Zone 1), Bangojin (Zone 2), Nongsu (Zone 3), and now Deokha (Zone 4). Once Eonyang (Zone 5) in the western region is additionally constructed, five major hub facilities will be completed.
Following the establishment of Deokha Public Garage, Ulsan City will adjust city bus routes to build an efficient city bus operation system, with changes taking effect from the 11th.
The reorganization minimizes adjustments by changing the terminals of 10 routes and the route of 1 line, considering a full revision planned for next year.
