Gwangju City and Gyeonggi Province Selected as ‘Best’ in 2024 Traffic Sector City and County Evaluation
Mayor Bang Se-hwan "We Will Strive to Provide Transportation Services That Citizens Can Feel"
Gwangju City, Gyeonggi Province (Mayor Bang Se-hwan) was selected as the 'Best' institution in the 2024 Gyeonggi-do transportation sector evaluation for cities and counties.
According to the city on the 22nd, the transportation sector evaluation for cities and counties is conducted annually by Gyeonggi-do to discover and spread excellent transportation policies.
Gyeonggi-do divides 31 cities and counties into four groups based on total population and comprehensively reviews 32 indicators across 18 items in five areas: general transportation, traffic safety, taxi administration, public transportation, and transportation information to select outstanding cities and counties.
Among them, Gwangju City was selected as the best city/county in Group B, which includes populations between 330,000 and less than 680,000, receiving high evaluations in the public transportation and transportation information sectors.
In particular, it received high scores in the introduction rate of low-floor buses and the accuracy of computerized management of city bus route information. Last year, Gwangju introduced 64 low-floor buses, and added 21 more in the first half of this year, increasing the number of low-floor buses operating within the city to 116.
Additionally, the city plans to introduce 100 more low-floor buses by 2026 to reduce carbon emissions and create a convenient public transportation environment.
In the policy project implementation sector, the demand-responsive transport (DRT) system called ‘Ttokbus,’ a new transportation system introduced to resolve transportation blind spots, received high evaluations.
