On the 27th, Yongin City announced that it has pilot-installed boarding bells and electronic display boards at six bus stops in the area to notify drivers of waiting passengers, aiming to solve the chronic problem of buses passing without stopping.

This system works by passengers pressing the bus route number they intend to board on the boarding bell screen at the bus stop. The corresponding bus number then appears on the 'Reserved Boarding Bus Route' electronic display board at the top of the bus stop booth. Bus drivers in operation can easily confirm the presence of waiting passengers through the display board.

The city pilot-installed this system on both directions at six bus stops: Dongwon Royal Duke and Yongin Registry Office stops in Yeokbuk-dong, Cheoin-gu; Lotte Castle Sky, Ian Dudream, and Paik Nam June Art Center stops in Singal-dong, Giheung-gu; and Dongbaek Station and Seongsan Village Seohae Grandble stops in Jung-dong, Giheung-gu.

The city invested a total of 40 million KRW in the project and has installed the boarding bell terminals and electronic display boards at each stop since August.

Yongin City plans to expand the project focusing on bus stops with frequent complaints about buses not stopping if positive results come from this pilot operation.
