Incheon City to Increase Buses on Two Geomdan-Seoul Metropolitan Express Routes from 7 to 13
On October 21, Incheon City announced that starting from the 27th, it will increase the number of vehicles operating on the M6457 and M6660 Metropolitan Express Bus routes, which run between Geomdan and Gangnam Station, and Geomdan and Guro Digital Complex Station, respectively. Three additional buses will be added to each route, bringing the total number of vehicles in operation to 13.
Due to challenges in hiring bus drivers, only 3 out of 10 licensed vehicles (with intervals of 60 to 80 minutes) were operating on the M6457 route, and 4 out of 10 licensed vehicles (with intervals of 30 to 50 minutes) were operating on the M6660 route. However, after discussions between the city and bus operators, it was decided to deploy additional vehicles.
As a result, the intervals between buses on these routes will be shortened, making commuting between Geomdan and Seoul significantly more convenient for local residents.
