[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Sang-hyun] Geoje City in Gyeongnam announced on the 28th that the Jjokbitbada Bus, which passes through major tourist attractions and famous mountains, will operate from the beginning of 2021.

The Jjokbitbada Bus, which was first introduced in 2019, used to start operating during the summer peak season and stop at the end of the year, but next year it will operate regularly.

The bus provides transportation convenience to hikers visiting local famous mountains and tourists visiting major attractions, while also promoting the area's pristine natural scenery.

It operates 16 times a day at approximately 2-hour intervals, starting with the first bus at 6:20 AM every Saturday and Sunday, departing from Gohyeon Terminal and passing through Mundong, Gucheon, Hakdong, and other stops. The fare is the same as the city bus.

A city official said, "Although the number of tourists has decreased due to the spread of COVID-19 infections, the usage rate among local residents is increasing," adding, "We plan to prepare various methods to revitalize the Jjokbitbada Bus operation next year as well."
