Incheon~Gangnam Station Bus No. 9100, Additional Buses Deployed to Improve Congestion

Incheon City will add more buses to the 9100 direct seat bus route that runs between Sungui Station and Seoul Gangnam Station.

On the 15th, the city announced that it will add one more bus to the 9100 route operated by the transportation company Ingang Passenger Transport to improve congestion, following numerous complaints submitted through the National Petition System and other channels. The city also plans to continue monitoring the congestion situation and is considering increasing the number of charter buses currently operating 2 buses 4 times a day to 3 buses 6 times a day starting January next year.

The 9100 route is a key line for residents of Michuhol-gu and Namdong-gu commuting to and from Gangnam Station. A total of 9 buses operate 38 trips daily at intervals of 20 to 30 minutes, serving an average of about 1,670 passengers per day. The city also deploys 2 additional charter buses during peak commuting hours.

However, buses departing from Sungui Station have faced complaints due to passengers having to stand even before entering Seoul, resulting in some passengers being unable to board. Additionally, due to frequent traffic congestion and delays on this long-distance route, the bus intervals are irregular, causing significant inconvenience to passengers.

An official from Incheon City stated, "The 9100 route will prioritize increasing the number of buses during peak hours by utilizing the licensed fleet of the transportation company. We will do our best to provide convenient public transportation such as metropolitan buses to alleviate traffic inconveniences not only in new towns like Geomdan, Songdo, Cheongna, and Yeongjong but also in the original downtown areas such as Michuhol-gu." he added.
