Mayor Oh Se-hoon: "Hangang Riververse Dock, Accessibility First"

Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon conducted on-site inspections on the 8th by visiting three planned piers for the water public transportation service 'Hangang River Bus,' which will begin operation in October this year.

Mayor Oh stated, "For the Hangang River Bus to establish itself as a public transportation option for Seoul citizens, accessibility to the piers must be the top priority." He also examined the connection status with land public transportation such as subway and bus routes around the planned piers and exchanged opinions with relevant officials.

The Seoul Metropolitan Government is preparing various measures to ensure that both citizens and tourists visiting Seoul can conveniently use the Hangang River Bus.

Among the three piers visited this time, 'Oksu' and 'Ttukseom' are within a 4 to 5-minute walk from the subway stations to the piers. For these piers, improvement projects around the access routes, such as walkway maintenance and installation of guide signs, are underway, and bike-sharing parking lots (Ddareungi) will be provided.

At 'Jamsil,' an additional bus stop will be installed within a 4 to 5-minute walking distance from the pier, and Ddareungi bikes will be placed to reduce travel time.

Mayor Oh emphasized that if the previously announced pier locations cannot guarantee citizen safety due to various circumstances, the locations should be adjusted, prioritizing safety above all in the project implementation.
