The Ttokbus in Pyeongtaek City was first introduced in April 2023 in Godeok International New Town. This time, the service area has been expanded to include the rural regions of Hyeondeok-myeon and Seotan-myeon.

In Hyeondeok-myeon, four Ttokbus vehicles will operate along key points such as Anjung Bus Terminal, Anjung Market, and Anjung Sports Center, strengthening the transportation network between residential areas and supporting local residents' mobility.

In particular, the Hwayang District, located within the service area, is a newly developed city with limited public transportation in its early phase of occupancy. The expansion of Ttokbus operations is expected to alleviate transportation inconveniences for new residents.

In Seotan-myeon, two Ttokbus vehicles will connect Songtan Market and Jinwi Station on Subway Line 1, providing more convenient transportation services for residents by linking residential areas with the subway station and improving commuting convenience.

The Pyeongtaek City Ttokbus will operate as an 11-seater minivan. In Hyeondeok-myeon, it will run from 6 a.m. to midnight (with ride requests accepted until 11:30 p.m.), and in Seotan-myeon, it will operate from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. (with ride requests accepted until 10:30 p.m.).

Fares, based on transportation cards, are the same as standard Gyeonggi Province city bus fares: 1,450 won for adults, 1,010 won for teenagers, and 730 won for children. The Metropolitan Area integrated transfer discount is also applied.

To use the Ttokbus, passengers can enter their departure and destination points in the 'Ttokta' app to call a Ttokbus in real time and receive information on pick-up locations and vehicle details. For those who have difficulty using the app, Ttokbus can also be accessed via phone call requests.

Min Kyungseon, President of Gyeonggi Transportation Corporation, stated, "We are very pleased that the Pyeongtaek City Ttokbus service has expanded from Godeok International New Town to rural areas. We hope that the Ttokbus will help resolve transportation inconveniences for local residents." He added, "Gyeonggi Transportation Corporation will continue to move forward vigorously to become a leading provider of smart transportation services trusted by the residents of Gyeonggi Province."

Meanwhile, starting with the pilot project in Paju in 2022 and now including the Pyeongtaek City Ttokbus, Gyeonggi Transportation Corporation is operating a total of 280 Ttokbus vehicles in 19 cities and counties across Gyeonggi Province. As an app-based new transportation system in the province, Ttokbus allows passengers to travel from their departure point to their destination while seated, without transfers, and has received strong support from residents.
