Jungang Veterans Hospital Station Exit 3 (ID 25-331) Bus Stop... Contour Bus Stop

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Gangdong-gu (Mayor Lee Jeong-hoon) has installed 'design bus shelters' with distinctive features for each location at Exit 3 (25-331) of Jungang Veterans Hospital Station and the bus stops at Gangdong Art Center and the rear gate of Gangdong Kyung Hee University Hospital (25-179).

These bus shelters were completed by applying the designs awarded in the 'Bus Shelter Design Contest' held at the end of 2019.

At the bus stop at Exit 3 of Jungang Veterans Hospital Station, the design 'Contour Line,' which elegantly reinterprets the gentle slopes of the nearby Iljasan Mountain using contour lines, was implemented to create a distinctive bus shelter.

Additionally, at the bus stop near Gangdong Art Center and the rear gate of Gangdong Kyung Hee University Hospital, the award-winning design 'Green Art Bus Shelter,' which features a triangle derived from the letter A in the Art of Gangdong Art Center as a focal point, was applied.

Gangdong-gu enhanced the urban landscape with uniquely attractive designs for each shelter while also providing facilities for residents' convenience.

The Jungang Veterans Hospital Station shelter is equipped with USB ports for smartphone charging and a Bus Information Terminal (BIT) that provides real-time bus arrival times, while the Gangdong Art Center shelter features heated seats to keep warm even in midwinter and a media board that also provides bus information.

Lee Jeong-hoon, Mayor of Gangdong-gu, stated, “We hope that the design bus shelters will serve as an opportunity to enhance the identity of the area and the urban landscape, and provide a comfortable space for residents waiting for buses. We will continue to expand public transportation convenience facilities such as eco-shelters that protect residents from harmful environments and Gangdong-style smart rest shelters.”
