Haeundae·Busan Station-Gimhae Airport Limousine Bus Service to Resume Normal Operation!

Busan City Shifts to COVID-19 Stabilization Phase... Full Normalization by January Next Year

Improved Transportation Convenience for Tourists and Citizens, Increased User Satisfaction, and Revitalization of Busan Tourism

Busan City will gradually resume normal operations of the limousine buses running between Haeundae, Busan Station (via Seomyeon), and Gimhae Airport by January next year, after being suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The limousine buses operating between Gimhae Airport and downtown Busan consist of a total of 12 buses: 8 on the Haeundae route and 4 on the Busan Station route. These buses served as a key transportation option for tourists and citizens before the pandemic, but operations were suspended for a long period due to continuous deficits caused by a sharp decline in passengers during the pandemic.

The city has decided to resume operations sequentially through consultations with transportation companies, judging that the COVID-19 situation is stabilizing and sufficient demand will be secured. The Haeundae route has been gradually expanding since partial resumption in February, and the Busan Station (via Seomyeon) route will resume operations in October.

The Haeundae route started with 2 buses in February this year, added 2 more in March, and plans to add 3 buses in October and 1 more in January next year to fully normalize operations by January.

The Busan Station route will resume with 2 buses in October this year and add 2 more buses in December to normalize operations.

In particular, the city is also promoting a route reorganization (Haeundae) to improve accessibility to Gimhae Airport, aiming to enhance passenger satisfaction and contribute to the revitalization of Busan tourism.

As of September 1, the number of stops on the Haeundae route was reduced from 28 to 16 as part of the route reorganization.

This aims to alleviate traffic inconvenience caused by the long travel time of the airport limousine on the Haeundae route and improve accessibility to Gimhae Airport.

Detailed information on the Gimhae Airport limousine service can be found on the Korea Airports Corporation website.

The city and district offices will actively promote route and transfer information, operating hours, and more through various media such as websites and official social networking services (SNS).

Mayor Park Hyung-jun stated, “We will do our best to provide convenient transportation for tourists and citizens visiting Busan by promptly normalizing the airport limousine service,” adding, “We will also take responsibility for improving the quality of the airport limousine service, so we ask for the active use of the service by tourists and citizens.”
