Operation Applied from First Bus on the 11th... New Stops at Sinchanggyo, Sinhwacho Elementary School, and Choan Apartment
Resolving Traffic Congestion Complaints, Improving Public Transport Convenience Including Subway Miasageori Station Accessibility

Gangbuk-gu, Seoul (Mayor Lee Soon-hee) announced on the 8th that it will extend the route of village bus Gangbuk05 to improve residents' transportation convenience. The extension will take effect from the first bus at 5:17 AM on the 11th.

The district expanded the existing Gangbuk05 route from Hanil Apartment~Miasageori Station~Beondong Elementary School (terminal) to include five additional stops around Sinhwa Elementary School in Dobong-gu: ▲Beondong Jugong Complex 3 and 4 Apartments ▲Choan Bridge ▲Gangbuk Health Center ▲Sinchang Bridge ▲Sinhwa Elementary School and Choan Apartment. Among these, Sinchang Bridge and Sinhwa Elementary School·Choan Apartment are newly established stops.

To adjust the route, the district conducted a survey targeting local residents in collaboration with Dobong-gu during July and August. A total of 417 residents participated, with 88.9% expressing approval. Consequently, a route adjustment review committee was held in September, and final approval was obtained from Seoul City in October.

The area near the terminal at Beondong Elementary School on the Gangbuk05 route had frequent traffic congestion complaints due to many vehicles, including Gangbuk06. Through this route adjustment, the district aims to disperse waiting vehicles to resolve complaints and improve accessibility to Miasageori Station on Seoul Subway Line 4 for residents of Gangbuk-gu as well as Dobong-gu and Nowon-gu.

Lee Soon-hee, Mayor of Gangbuk-gu, said, “Village buses are the feet of local residents. As an important means of transportation, we will continue to strive to make it more convenient and safe for residents to use.”
