'Ganghwa~Sinchon Station' Bus No. 3000, Stops Reduced from 42 to 30

Incheon City will reorganize the route of the 3000 direct-seat bus running between Ganghwa Terminal and Seoul Sinchon Station, starting operation from the 5th of next month.

The city announced on the 30th that, to shorten the interval between 3000 bus departures, it has abolished 12 stops in the Gimpo section, reducing the total number of stops from 42 to 30, and straightened the route between Gimpo University Entrance and Tongjin Middle and High School.

This route reorganization is a measure taken in response to the significant inconvenience experienced by Ganghwa residents due to the doubling of the 3000 bus interval after the 23 buses of route 3000 were split into 3000 (8 buses from Ganghwa to Sinchon Station) and 3000-1 (15 buses from Gimpo Wolgot to Sinchon Station) starting from the 1st.

In addition to adjusting stops, the city is promoting plans to add 2 more vehicles and establish an express route using Gimpo Hangang-ro. For this, consultations regarding the route design are underway with Seoul City and Gyeonggi Province.

Also, to address the aging of the currently operating 8 vehicles, the city is working with Seonjin Sangun Co., Ltd., which operates the 3000 bus, to devise improvement measures, aiming for a full vehicle replacement with new cars delivered within the year.

An official from Incheon City stated, "Various improvement measures to minimize citizen inconvenience will be immediately reflected on-site," adding, "We will closely monitor future operation conditions and complaints to actively improve citizen inconvenience, including additional vehicle additions."
