Gwangju Nam-gu 'Village Bus 714 and 715' Service Resumes from the 25th

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Seon-gang] Nam-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City announced on the 15th that it will resume operation of two village bus routes, No. 714 and No. 715, starting from 6 a.m. on the 25th.

After a long pause lasting several months due to a sharp decline in village bus passengers, the operation is resuming with partial route reorganization.

First, village bus No. 714 will restart after about 10 months since its suspension on March 25 last year.

For this route, the departure and terminal points have been changed, and based on analysis of main destinations and travel patterns of passengers, sections with expected high boarding and alighting such as Namgwangju Station and in front of Chosun University have been reflected in the new route.

The No. 714 route runs from Sotae Station to Nam-gu Culture and Arts Center, Yuan Elementary School, Bangnim Elementary School, Namgwangju Station, Chosun University, and ends at the entrance of Jisan-dong Daily Market.

The first bus departs at 6 a.m., and the last bus at 10:30 p.m. The interval between buses ranges from 10 to 20 minutes and is flexibly applied depending on peak commuting hours.

Village bus No. 715, which suspended operation on July 18 last year, will also resume after about six months. For passenger convenience, boarding and alighting are now possible at Gwangju Kimchi Town and in front of Inseong High School.

According to the changed route, village bus No. 715 operates from Daechon-dong Hanil Bellache to Kimchi Town, Hyocheon City Pradium, Inseong High School, Daeseong Girls' High School, Baegun Square, and Jeonnam National University Hospital Five-way Intersection.

The first bus departs at 6 a.m., and the last bus at 10:30 p.m., with intervals flexibly applied between 15 and 20 minutes.

A Nam-gu official said, “With the resumption of village bus operations in the district, commuting and school travel for residents living in Daechon-dong, Hyocheon 1 District, Bangnim-dong, and other areas are expected to become much easier.”
