Busan Bus Stop Wi-Fi Service Launches

Busan City Provides Free Wi-Fi at 635 Bus Stops with Bus Information Displays
'Free Wi-Fi Busan' Aims to Enhance Public Transport Convenience and Reduce Household Communication Costs

Starting August 10, public Wi-Fi service has been launched at all bus stops equipped with bus information displays throughout Busan city.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] Wi-Fi service has started at bus stops in Busan city equipped with bus information displays.

Busan City announced on the 10th that it has completed the installation of a total of 703 Wi-Fi devices at 635 locations, including bus stops, starting free service from the 10th to help citizens conveniently use public transportation and reduce communication costs.

This project follows last year's completion of free Wi-Fi service on city buses (2,517 units) to enhance convenience for public transportation users, and was first installed at bus stops equipped with Bus Information Terminals (BIT).

To use the service, users can connect to the Wi-Fi by checking the identifier (SSID) ‘Busan_WiFi’ or ‘Public WiFi Secure’ on their mobile phones or other devices capable of Wi-Fi access at bus stops and other locations.

Referring to the security connection notice attached at the bus stops allows users to access a secure and high-speed quality public Wi-Fi service.

However, due to the nature of public Wi-Fi services accessible to anyone, it is safer to avoid entering sensitive personal information or conducting financial transactions.

Byeon Seong-wan, Acting Mayor of Busan, said, “Following city buses, installing public Wi-Fi at bus stops will help reduce household communication expenses and bridge the digital information gap,” adding, “We will continue to install free Wi-Fi throughout city tourist areas to enhance the image of Busan as an international tourist city.”
