View original imageAlthough Subway Line 8 was extended and opened to Byeollae Station on August 10 last year, complaints have been continuously raised that accessibility to Byeollae Station is poor from some apartment complexes in Byeollae-dong.
Currently, a total of 10 routes, including 4 city bus routes and 6 village bus routes, connect to Byeollae Station, but since the routes are mainly distributed along arterial roads, some complexes experience inconvenience in using Byeollae Station.
In addition, at Samyook University, located on the border between Namyangju City and Nowon-gu, Seoul, there have been demands for the establishment of a bus route to improve students' accessibility to Byeollae Station.
Accordingly, the city will establish village bus No. 86 connecting Byeollae Byeolgaram Station, Byeollae Switchen, Dongik Mirabel, Byeollae Station, Forena Byeollae, and the back gate of Samyook University, operating a total of 4 vehicles 40 times a day.
