'Cold wave mitigation facilities' are operated from this month, during the winter natural disaster response period, until the end of the cold wave.

The city plans to establish an efficient response system for cold waves by inspecting and maintaining facilities such as heated seats, windbreak installations (windbreak panels and roll screens), and Smart Shelters (with heating devices) at 297 major bus stops within the city.

In particular, Smart Shelters are equipped with amenities for citizens, including air conditioning and heating units, bus arrival information terminals (BIT) that provide real-time bus arrival information, and wireless smartphone chargers, aiming to provide a comfortable public transportation environment for citizens.

Lim Byeongtaek, Mayor of Siheung City, stated, "We will thoroughly conduct pre-inspections and maintenance of these facilities to ensure that citizens do not experience inconvenience due to the cold wave," adding, "We will continue our efforts to enable citizens to use public transportation in a safe and pleasant environment."
