Gwangjin-gu, Jiseon Bus Route 2012 Changed

Gwangjin-gu Changes Branch Bus Route 2012... Prioritizing Pedestrian Safety!

Route Change Starts from the First Bus on the 19th, One-Way Route to Dongdaemun History & Culture Park Direction Altered

Rerouted via Junggok 1·2-dong Instead of Neungdong-ro 35-gil and Gunja-ro to Reduce Pedestrian Accident Risks

New Stops at a Total of 8 Locations from ‘Chanyang Church’ to ‘Gunja Samgeori’

Gwangjin-gu (Mayor Kim Kyung-ho) has adjusted the route of branch bus 2012 and will operate on the changed route starting from the first bus on the 19th.

The district has revised the route so that branch bus 2012 heading toward Dongdaemun History & Culture Park will pass through the Junggok 1·2-dong area and travel via Myeonmok-ro instead of Neungdong-ro 35-gil and Gunja-ro.

There are several reasons for this adjustment. First, Neungdong-ro 35-gil, which bus 2012 used to pass through, is a side street with a high risk of pedestrian accidents. Also, when illegal parking or stopping occurs, buses cannot enter, causing traffic congestion on Neungdong-ro.

Furthermore, residents living in old buildings located on Gunja-ro have continuously raised complaints about vibrations caused by buses, fearing potential building collapse.

In response, the district recognized the need for route changes and went through procedures including gathering residents’ opinions and held ongoing consultations with Seoul City. As a result, they succeeded in changing the one-way route of bus 2012 toward Dongdaemun History & Culture Park.

Through this, Neungdong-ro 35-gil will be relieved from pedestrian accident risks and traffic congestion caused by bus traffic, and complaints from residents living near old buildings on Gunja-ro will be resolved.

Additionally, since the changed route passes through Yongma Sageori and Junggok 1-dong Sageori toward Myeonmok-ro, it is expected to improve public transportation accessibility for residents in Junggok 1·2-dong.

According to the adjusted bus route, branch bus 2012 will stop at a total of 30 bus stops in Gwangjin-gu. Among these, the newly added stops are ▲Chanyang Church (to be integrated with the newly established Achasan Station Samgeori stop) ▲Yongma Elementary School ▲In front of Junggok 2-dong Community Service Center ▲Junggok 1-dong Sageori ▲Entrance of Junggok 1-dong Community Service Center ▲Maryknoll Foreign Mission Society ▲Hana Bank Gunja Branch ▲Gunja Samgeori, totaling 8 stops.

Kim Kyung-ho, Mayor of Gwangjin-gu, said, “We have changed the route of branch bus 2012 to reduce risks and inconveniences for residents of Neungdong-ro 35-gil and Gunja-ro, while also enabling residents of Junggok 1·2-dong to use public transportation more conveniently. We will do our best to ensure the bus operates smoothly.”
