[Asia Economy Reporter Ra Young-cheol] Starting from the 11th, two additional buses will be added to Route 76, which runs between Dasan New Town in Namyangju, Gyeonggi Province, and Seokgye Station in Seoul.

According to Namyangju City on the 5th, out of the three buses planned for addition, two will be deployed first from the 11th, operating a total of 12 buses at intervals of 8 to 17 minutes. One more bus will be added early next year to reduce the dispatch interval.

With 1,612 households scheduled to move into Dasan New Town after September next year, the city is also negotiating with Seoul City for additional increases in Route 76 buses.

Route 76 connects Dasan New Town and the northeastern area of Seoul (Seokgye Station, Taereung Entrance Station, Hwarangdae Station) via the shortest route, currently operated by 10 buses at intervals of 10 to 20 minutes.

However, as the population of Dasan New Town increases, citizens using this bus route during peak commuting hours are experiencing significant inconvenience.

Joo Gwang-deok, Mayor of Namyangju City, said, "Among the 130,000 residents of Dasan New Town, many commute to and from Seokgye Station and Taereung Entrance Station," adding, "We will prepare transportation measures to improve public transportation usage and ensure there are no inconveniences."
