Until now, residents of Seojong-myeon have faced significant inconvenience when commuting to Seoul for work or school, having to transfer multiple times between buses or subways, or drive their own cars through Yangsu-ri, a section frequently plagued by heavy traffic congestion.

Accordingly, the operation of the express bus between Seojong and Jamsil has been promoted in response to the residents' persistent demands and interest, and has finally come to fruition.

Yangpyeong County plans to operate three 45-seat eco-friendly natural gas buses on the new express route, providing a total of 15 round trips per day.

The bus will depart from the Munho-ri terminal in Seojong-myeon, Yangpyeong County, stop at Seojong Middle School and Munho 4-ri (Soguni) bus stops, and then turn around at the Seoul Jamsil Metropolitan Transfer Center. The timetable, from the first departure at 6:00 a.m. to the last arrival at Munho-ri terminal at 10:50 p.m., is currently being finalized.

Jeon Jinseon, Governor of Yangpyeong County, stated, "We expect this will not only reduce the transportation burden for Seojong-myeon residents, but also provide a more convenient and pleasant transportation environment for tourists visiting Seojong." He added, "I would like to thank the Metropolitan Transportation Commission of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, Gyeonggi Province officials, members of the National Assembly and provincial and county councils for their cooperation in making this opening possible. Above all, I sincerely thank the residents of Seojong-myeon for their patience in enduring the inconvenience and waiting for this day."

Meanwhile, the express bus route between Seojong and Jamsil will be designated as route number 2301, with the first departure from the Munho-ri terminal at 6:00 a.m. on June 20. An opening ceremony is also scheduled for 1:30 p.m. on the same day.
