Gyeonggi-do Seeks Optimal Model for Lee Jae-myung's 'Public Bus'

[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Gyeonggi Province is developing a model to derive the optimal new routes for the 'Gyeonggi-do Public Bus' system based on a route bidding system through scientific data analysis.

On the 20th, Gyeonggi Province announced that it held a kickoff meeting for the 'Gyeonggi-do Public Bus New Route Analysis Service Construction Project' at the Gyeonggi Bio Center in Gwanggyo Technovalley, Yeongtong, Suwon.

This analysis model is being promoted with the goal of implementing data-driven transportation administration to ensure that the 'Gyeonggi-do Public Bus' project, which was first implemented nationwide in March this year, fulfills its original purpose of improving residents' mobility convenience.

The province plans to integrally collect various private and public transportation-related data scattered throughout the province and establish a system that can scientifically analyze it at any time.

Specifically, by analyzing various data such as ▲ bus passenger numbers by region, route, and stop ▲ bus operation information ▲ living population ▲ housing and industrial complex development status ▲ transportation card data ▲ transportation complaints, new routes that maximize transportation benefits for residents will be discovered and selected.

Additionally, based on the operational performance of the route bidding system-based 'Gyeonggi-do Public Bus,' which currently operates 120 buses on 16 routes, the policy effects will be analyzed, and areas for improvement will be identified and reflected back into the policy.

Furthermore, by creating a 'data map' that integrates various data for search and allows hierarchical and relational views at a glance, visualization work will lay the foundation for Gyeonggi Province and its cities and counties to promote more systematic transportation policies.

The model development is scheduled to be completed by November.

Lim Moon-young, Director of Future Growth Policy at the province, stated, "The Gyeonggi-do Public Bus project is a transportation pledge project of Governor Lee Jae-myung and is the first nationwide to operate a route bidding system that strengthens public nature." He added, "We will do our best to realize a Gyeonggi Province where public transportation is more convenient than private cars."
