Gokseong-gun Introduces Two Unique Tour Buses

Gokseong Dokkaebi Bus, Chuchu Bus, Operating from April

[Gokseong=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Cha Jong-seon] This spring, traveling in Gokseong becomes even more enjoyable with unique tour buses.

Starting from March 5, Gokseong-gun will operate city tour buses called Kkaebi Bus and Chuchu Bus.

The Kkaebi Bus is a circular tour bus around Gokseong-eup, catching people's attention with its pink appearance.

As its name suggests, the Kkaebi Bus is decorated with a cute dokkaebi character, raising great expectations among family travelers with young children.

The Chuchu Bus is a tour bus that circulates major travel spots along the Seomjin River.

It is modeled after a classic European tram, allowing passengers to feel a romantic atmosphere.

Passengers can immerse themselves in postcard-like scenery along the leisurely flowing Seomjin River.

The Kkaebi Bus circulates seven times a day on the route ‘Train Village - 6070 Youth Workshop & Romantic Workshop - Emotional Recharge Road - Gallery 107 - Gokseong Cathedral - Train Village Traditional Market - Ttukbang Market - Train Village.’

It has a maximum capacity of 19 passengers, while the Chuchu Bus operates four times a day on the route ‘Train Village - Simcheong Hanok Village - Gajeong Station - Amnok Imagination School - Gajeong Station - Simcheong Hanok Village - Train Village,’ accommodating up to 31 passengers.

Both the Kkaebi Bus and Chuchu Bus will begin free trial operations for about a month starting March 5.

After addressing any shortcomings, normal operations are scheduled to begin on April 1.

From the start of normal operations, the fare will be 2,000 KRW, and children under five accompanied by a guardian, persons with disabilities, and national merit recipients can ride for free.

Passengers holding a ticket can use the service unlimited times on the same day and can get on and off at all stops along the route.

This service is perfect for local travelers who want to enjoy rural towns and eco-travelers who want to savor the Seomjin River at a leisurely pace.

A Gokseong-gun official said, “We have created routes that include not only our county’s representative tourist spots but also various places where visitors can feel subtle fun. Visitors will be able to fully immerse themselves in a more convenient, diverse, and enjoyable Gokseong.”
