[Asia Economy Reporter Park Hyesook] Public Wi-Fi service is now available on all village buses in Bucheon, Gyeonggi Province.


Bucheon City announced that starting from the 27th, public Wi-Fi service, promoted as part of the Smart City Challenge project, will be implemented on 80 village buses across 13 routes.


Passengers can search for Wi-Fi inside the village buses and choose between 'General Access' and 'Secure Access' to use the service.


With this, public Wi-Fi service is available on all public transportation buses in Bucheon, including 844 regular buses on 53 routes.


Jang Deokcheon, mayor of Bucheon, stated, "To reduce household communication costs and data polarization anywhere in public living areas and to support citizens' basic communication rights, we will continue to expand public Wi-Fi support next year targeting traditional markets, libraries, bus stops, parks, and more."


Meanwhile, Bucheon City has increased the Smart City Pass mileage to 40% in the 'Smart City Pass app,' and by linking it with the Altteul Transportation Card, citizens can save up to 70% on public transportation fares, enhancing the perceived value of the city pass service.



With this expansion of public Wi-Fi service, it is expected that the Smart City Pass app can be used without data usage restrictions.
