We will do our best to stabilize city bus routes until the completion of the Wonil BRT and ensure efficient city bus operation centered on citizen convenience.”

Meanwhile, the demand-responsive transit (DRT) Nubida Bus operating between Changwon Jungang Station and Jungang-daero will have its service area reexamined and will be piloted at a later date.
