Since taking office in 2022, President Kyung Sun Min has driven innovation in transportation services closely tied to residents' daily lives, laying the groundwork for the corporation's growth. The Gyeonggi-do Integrated Transportation Platform "Ddokta," launched in 2023, has become a representative platform for the province, integrating Ddokbus ride-hailing and payment, real-time bus and rail information, and access to shared personal mobility, bicycles, and taxis within a single app. It has surpassed 1.5 million cumulative downloads, solidifying its status as a leading platform in Gyeonggi-do. In addition, the demand-responsive bus service "Ddokbus" was expanded to 20 cities and counties within the province, operating 303 vehicles, significantly improving mobility for residents in rural, fishing, and new town areas with limited public transportation options.

Furthermore, the launch of the Gyeonggi-do Metropolitan Mobility Support Center integrated the call taxi system for people with disabilities across 31 cities and counties, enhancing transportation welfare for those with mobility challenges. The corporation also laid the groundwork for future transportation systems by conducting research for an Urban Air Mobility (UAM) master plan, advancing Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), and launching a railway business division. Beyond business expansion, the corporation achieved its first-ever operating surplus since its founding and expanded its organization, ensuring institutional and financial stability. These changes have played a key role in establishing the corporation as Gyeonggi-do’s leading transportation agency.

Kim Kwangdeok, Director of the Gyeonggi-do Transportation Bureau, said, "President Kyung Sun Min has dedicated himself to the development of transportation in Gyeonggi-do over the past three years. Thanks to his efforts, Gyeonggi Transportation Corporation was able to stabilize and establish itself in a short period of time. I deeply appreciate his hard work."

Yang Wooseok, Executive Director, stated, "I would like to thank President Kyung Sun Min for his efforts to lead the corporation stably despite difficult circumstances. I wish him all the best in his future endeavors and will always support him."

Park Seokmin, Employee Representative of the Labor-Management Council, commented, "It was not easy for new transportation services like Ddokta and Ddokbus to take root, but the president’s drive and communication skills were a great support. The employees will continue to carry on his vision and do their utmost for the corporation's continued growth."

President Kyung Sun Min reflected, "The past three years sometimes felt long, but looking back, it was a time of constant effort. Above all, I am deeply grateful to the executives and staff who worked alongside me. These three years have been a period of great learning and significance for me, and I will continue to sincerely support all employees in the future."

He added, "Although I cannot say everything was perfect, I always tried to do my best at every moment. I hope that, building on the small foundation I have left, Gyeonggi Transportation Corporation will continue to create warmer and more reliable transportation services and grow into an institution that earns even greater trust from the residents."
