Andong City Operates 'Trolley Bus' Tour in Hahoe Village... "Offering Special Memories"

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Park Dong-wook] Andong City announced on the 6th that starting from the 9th, it will operate a 'Trolleybus' that recreates the 1900s streetcar for the first time in Gyeongbuk to revitalize public transportation and tourism.

The 'Trolleybus' is a famous attraction in major cities around the world such as the United States and Europe, popular among tourists. In South Korea, it is used as a tourist city tour bus in some local governments including Seoul and Ulsan.

Andong City will operate the trolleybus five times a day on bus route 246, which circulates through the representative local tourist site Hahoe Village. The fare is the same as the regular city bus fare. Detailed timetables can be found on the Andong City Hall website (Information by Category - Public Transportation).

Plans are also underway to coordinate the operation times of the trolleybus with the KTX-Eum (EMU260) train, which opened on the 5th. On weekends when tourists flock, one additional express city bus will be deployed each to Hahoe Village, Dosan Seowon, and Manhyujeong.

Choi Woo-gyu, head of the Transportation Administration Division, said, "We will do our best to establish a convenient public transportation system and introduce differentiated transportation means to provide special memories to visitors to our city in order to revitalize public transportation and tourism."
