[Asia Economy Reporter Ra Young-cheol] Guri City in Gyeonggi Province has expressed a welcoming stance as the extension of Seoul Subway Line 6 to Guri was reflected as an additional review project in the '2nd Metropolitan Area Wide-area Transportation Basic Plan' for the next 20 years and the '4th Metropolitan Area Wide-area Transportation Implementation Plan' for five years.

On the 30th, An Seung-nam, mayor of Guri City, stated, "Following the 4th National Railroad Network Plan, we once again welcome the inclusion of the additional review for the Line 6 extension to Guri, the Bundang Line project, and the construction of the Guri Station transfer center in the metropolitan area wide-area transportation plan."

The city evaluated, "The plan includes the extension of Line 6 and the double-tracking of the Wangsimni-Cheongnyangni section, which is part of the direct connection extension of the Gyeongchun Line and Bundang Line, laying the foundation for establishing a wide-area transportation network," adding, "The plan also includes the construction of a transfer center at Guri Station, where the Gyeongui-Jungang Line and Subway Line 8 operate, achieving the result of rapidly emerging as a key wide-area transportation hub."

The city plans to focus all efforts on building the railway network, including the Line 6 extension and the construction of the Guri Station transfer center, once the government's 'Metropolitan Area Wide-area Transportation Basic and Implementation Plans' are finalized in the first half of the year.

Meanwhile, the city is consulting with the National Assembly, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, and Gyeonggi Province to secure a stop at Galmae Station on the GTX-B line, and also intends to continuously promote the extension of Subway Line 9 toward Guri and the Seoul Light Rail Transit (Myeonmok Line) extension.
