Mokpo City, Emergency Transport Vehicles Operating on Weekends Due to City Bus Service Suspension

Sat-Sun 7 AM to 2 PM, 36 Emergency Transport Vehicles in Operation

[Mokpo=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Jeong Hyeong-seok] Mokpo City in Jeollanam-do will operate emergency transport vehicles on weekends as well to alleviate citizen inconvenience due to the suspension of city gas supply caused by unpaid gas fees from Taewon and Yujin city bus companies.

The city will change the number of emergency transport vehicle operations on weekends, considering the fatigue of bus drivers who have been operating since the 12th.

The emergency transport weekend routes are the same as on weekdays, covering 11 major city routes including 1, 1A, 2, 6, 9, 11, 13, 15, 20, 33, and 60, with a total of 36 vehicles operating, including 32 charter buses and 4 Nangman buses.

The operating hours for the charter bus emergency transport vehicles are from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m., with adjusted dispatch intervals, while the Nangman buses operate until evening, the same as on weekdays. For detailed information, please refer to the city’s website.

A city official stated, “We will strive to normalize city bus operations promptly to alleviate citizen inconvenience,” and added, “We ask citizens to use alternative transportation such as carpooling, walking short distances, riding bicycles, and taxis.”
