Jomyeongrae, Changwon Special City Deputy Mayor, conducts on-site inspection of Wonidaero S-BRT.

The Woni-daero S-BRT, which opened on the 15th, currently operates 339 city buses on 45 routes and is now in its third day of service.

Vice Mayor Cho stated that while most citizens using the buses after the opening responded positively, some inconveniences were raised, prompting him to conduct an on-site inspection to ensure the rapid stabilization of the S-BRT.

The main inconveniences reported by citizens included: ▲ confusion regarding the bus boarding locations at stops ▲ an increase in the number of times buses stop at intersections ▲ reduced travel speed due to the bus safety speed limit (40 km/h). During the inspection, Vice Mayor Cho personally boarded a city bus from Changwon City Hall stop to Uichang District Office stop to closely examine these issues.

During the inspection, Vice Mayor Cho instructed, "To address the confusion over bus boarding locations at stops, install signs indicating the direction of travel at the stops. In addition, to reduce the number of bus stops at intersections by half, consult with the Road Traffic Authority and specialized service agencies to improve the signal operation system."

The responsible department decided to promptly implement these instructions to resolve citizen inconveniences and, for the early stabilization of BRT operations after its opening, will focus on on-site safety management and monitoring of operational conditions, making further improvements as issues are identified.
