[Jeongeup=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Jaegil] Jeongeup City in Jeonbuk announced on the 31st that it will invest a total of 1 billion KRW by the end of this year to promote the use of public transportation through environmental maintenance of bus stops and carry out various facility improvement projects.

The city plans to replace or newly install 30 aging existing city bus stops with a project budget of 360 million KRW so that citizens can use safe and comfortable city bus stops.

Along with this, 80 million KRW will be spent to clean bus stops polluted by snow, rain, exhaust fumes, and fine dust, enabling citizens to use comfortable bus stops.

The city plans to contribute to the revitalization of public transportation by improving convenience for citizens using public transportation, such as installing or repairing new bus signs and installing LED lighting with a budget of 100 million KRW.

A city official said, "We will continue to secure related budgets to expand convenience facilities within bus stops, solve residents' inconveniences, and do our best to create a safe transportation environment."
