[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Seryeong] Geoje City, Gyeongnam Province, has additionally installed heated seats at 51 bus stops to prepare for the winter cold wave.

The heated seat installation project, which began in 2019 at the Gohyeon Terminal bus stop, targets bus stops in outer areas where public transportation usage is high or where it is difficult to avoid the wind.

The installed heated seats operate from 5 a.m. to 10 p.m., the bus operating hours, until April next year, and activate when the surrounding temperature is below 18 degrees Celsius.

So far this year, heated seats have been installed at 77 bus stops in the region, and the installation will be expanded to 34 more locations by January next year.

A city official said, "Requests for heated seat installations increase as the weather gets colder," adding, "We will make further efforts to ensure citizens can use public transportation warmly and comfortably."
