Jeonju City Expands Jungindong City Bus Turnaround Area

Expansion to 6 Bus Parking Spaces, Creation of Restrooms and Rest Areas

[Jeonju=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Han-ho] Jeonju City announced on the 5th that it has completed the expansion project of the Jungin-dong city bus turnaround area with a total project cost of 1.1 billion KRW.

The Jungin-dong city bus turnaround area, used daily by about 400 people including hikers of Moaksan Mountain and residents of Jungin-dong village, served 2 routes with 11 buses operating 121 times a day. However, due to limited parking space and lack of convenience facilities for drivers, complaints about inconvenience had been raised.

Accordingly, Jeonju City purchased a nearby site (790㎡) to increase the bus parking spaces from 2 to 6 and built a rest area and restroom for drivers, improving the working conditions for transportation workers.

Additionally, a new bus stop was established, and carbon-heated seats and air curtains were installed inside the bus stop to enhance convenience for city bus users.

Going forward, Jeonju City plans to expand turnaround areas in various locations, including completing a city bus turnaround area on the campus of Jeonju University.
