Every year, complaints about inconveniences in using public transportation are increasing due to the rise in public transportation demand and traffic volume. In particular, cases where buses pass stops without stopping or pick up and drop off passengers outside designated stops have been raised as major complaints.

Accordingly, the city plans to select routes with frequent non-stop occurrences, organize inspection teams for the first and second halves of the year, and conduct on-site inspections by arbitrarily designating major bus stops.

In addition, the city intends to enhance promotion of the ‘Seungcha Bell’ service within the Gyeonggi Bus Information app currently operated by Gyeonggi Province to improve convenience for citizens.

The ‘Seungcha Bell’ service allows users to run the Gyeonggi Bus Information app at the bus stop where they wish to board, press the boarding bell button for the stop and bus route, and then the boarding information is sent to the bus driver’s terminal to prevent buses from passing without stopping.

A Namyangju City official said, “We plan to actively promote the Seungcha Bell service and strengthen citizen accessibility through various methods such as town and village meetings, posting promotional materials in apartment complexes, and announcements on bus electronic signboards,” adding, “We hope that this response plan will improve the non-stop issue and enhance the convenience of using public transportation.”
