Gwangju City Adds BIT Installations at Four Stations Including Sangmu Station

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Seon-gang] Gwangju Metropolitan City announced on the 15th that starting from the 16th, bus arrival information terminals (BIT) will be additionally installed at four major transfer hub urban railway stations to provide real-time bus arrival times.

The subway stations where the terminals will be installed are Songjeong Park Station, Geumnamno 4-ga Station, Uncheon Station, and Sangmu Station, with over 1.5 million annual transfer passengers and 12 nearby bus stops, expected to play a significant role in facilitating transfers for public transportation users.

Previously, the operation of bus arrival information terminals at Gwangju Songjeong Station and Nam Gwangju Station received great responses from visitors, market merchants, and citizens, and with this installation, a total of six terminals will be in place.

The bus arrival information terminals will be installed near the subway exits, providing arrival times for city buses and intercity buses (Naju, Hwasun, Damyang, Hampyeong) at nearby bus stops, allowing transfer passengers to estimate their waiting times.

With this terminal installation, passengers can wait inside the subway stations, which are less affected by heat, cold, rain, snow, and fine dust, before boarding buses, greatly enhancing the convenience for public transportation users.

Son Doo-young, head of the city's Public Transportation Division, said, “We plan to continue installing terminals in subway stations with many transfer passengers. Next year, we will install bus arrival information terminals at the Gwangju Intercity Bus Terminal to create an environment where more citizens can use public transportation.”
