The 'Hyundap Bus', under the slogan 'Reflecting Citizens' Dreams in the Budget', is a communication initiative in which Mayor Lee met directly with residents and small business owners in all 25 districts ahead of next year's budget planning, listened to their opinions, and aimed to incorporate these into municipal policies and the budget. 'Hyundap Bus' means 'a bus that seeks answers on site'.

During its tour of all 25 districts, the Hyundap Bus visited various parts of the city to address residents' everyday concerns on site. In the academy district areas of Hosu-dong and Gojan-dong, Mayor Lee personally observed traffic congestion during peak times when academy and parent vehicles converge, and discussed the creation of safe zones for student drop-off and pick-up. In the central commercial area of Jungang-dong, he listened to suggestions for revitalizing neighborhood businesses and improving the pedestrian environment.

The city evaluated the Hyundap Bus as a mobile mayor’s office that finds answers by seeing and listening on site, and as an open space where citizens and the administration work together to solve problems.

Through the operation of the Hyundap Bus, the city plans to thoroughly review and reflect more than 500 resident opinions-including those on parking, expansion of living SOC, improvement of welfare facilities, revitalization of commercial areas, and urban regeneration-into next year's budget and business plans.

Mayor Lee stated, "I will do my utmost to ensure that the residents’ candid voices are faithfully reflected in next year's budget, so that we can build Ansan City into the city our citizens dream of."
