Buan-gun Wido-myeon 'Haengbok Call Bus' to Operate from the 17th

Transportation Service That Rushes Like a Taxi with Just One Phone Call

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Geon-ju] Buan-gun, Jeonbuk announced that from the 17th, it will operate a Happy Call Bus to alleviate transportation inconveniences for residents of Wido-myeon, an island area within the jurisdiction.

In 2018, as the number of taxis operating in Wido-myeon was reduced, causing ongoing transportation inconveniences for residents and tourists, the county began operating an on-demand Happy Call Bus from this day to run when there is demand.

The transportation operator was selected through a public contest, with the Wido Autonomous Crime Prevention Unit chosen, and the operating hours are from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily for the convenience of residents.

The fare for one ride is 3,000 won, and it can be used throughout the entire Wido-myeon area.

The county expects that with the operation of this Happy Call Bus, transportation conditions in Wido-myeon, where residents and tourists experienced great inconvenience due to the lack of transportation options other than the regular-route public bus, will be greatly improved.

Kwon Ik-hyun, the head of Buan-gun, said, "We expect that the operation of the Wido-myeon Happy Call Bus will greatly reduce inconveniences for residents and tourists," and added, "We will do our best to introduce a bus operation system suitable for local conditions through performance analysis of the Happy Call Bus operation in the future."
