Icheon-si to Increase Operation of Express Buses to Jamsil and Gangnam

G2100 bus increased up to 6 times... 3401 bus increased 4 times

Starting next month, the number of metropolitan bus trips between Icheon City in Gyeonggi Province and Seoul's Jamsil and Gangnam areas will increase.

On the 19th, Icheon City announced that from August, it will increase the number of G2100 buses running between Icheon and Jamsil and 3401 buses running between Icheon and Gangnam on weekdays and weekends to alleviate congestion.

This increase in metropolitan bus services comes as passenger inconvenience grew due to a surge in demand for buses traveling to Seoul after the Icheon route at the Dong Seoul Intercity Bus Terminal was discontinued in March. Accordingly, since April, the city has been consistently proposing improvements to eastern region transportation measures to the Metropolitan Transportation Committee under the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport.

With this increase, the G2100 route will add 2 trips on weekdays and Saturdays, and 6 trips on Sundays and public holidays. The 3401 route will add 2 trips on Saturdays and 4 trips on Sundays and public holidays, which is expected to ease congestion on weekends and holidays. The city plans to start the increased service in August through detailed consultations with transportation companies.

Kim Kyung-hee, mayor of Icheon City, said, "We will do our best to provide convenient public transportation services to citizens not only by improving metropolitan bus routes but also by enhancing city bus routes."
