Incheon City Strengthens Bus-Only Lane Enforcement... 24 Buses Equipped with Enforcement Cameras in Operation

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Hyesook] Incheon City will increase the number of city buses equipped with enforcement cameras from 6 to 24 starting next month to strengthen the crackdown on vehicles violating bus-only lanes and illegal parking around bus stops.

According to the city on the 29th, enforcement cameras will be newly installed on a total of 18 buses: 12 buses on three main routes (15, 30, and 45) with 4 buses each, and 6 buses on route 36.

Currently, 6 mobile enforcement buses are operated, with 2 buses each on routes 15, 30, and 45.

Vehicles violating bus-only lanes will be immediately fined, and illegal parking will be subject to enforcement if the leading bus captures the illegally parked vehicle once and the following bus captures it a second time at the same location.

The enforcement hours for illegal parking are from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m., and for bus-only lane violations, from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. Enforcement is not conducted on Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays.

However, the area around Lotte Department Store in Guwol-dong, where route 36 operates, is a full-time enforcement zone, monitored 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Fines for bus-only lane violations are 50,000 KRW, while illegal parking fines are 40,000 KRW for passenger cars and 50,000 KRW for vans.

The city plans to install additional enforcement cameras on 26 route buses (including 2 BRT buses) by next year, operating a total of 50 buses to conduct enforcement throughout all areas of Incheon.
