The main adjustments focus on changing route stops and modifying certain time slots, with an emphasis on improving both operational efficiency and accessibility based on the specific needs of each township.


For Dong-myeon, the existing route, which previously ran only from Yanggu-eup to the Arboretum, will be revised to add an additional route passing through Pallang 1-ri, effectively creating two separate routes for this area. The Bangsan-myeon route will also be split into two, aiming to enhance convenience for residents in different regions.


For Haean-myeon, additional daytime services will be introduced and the last bus time will be adjusted to establish a more efficient route system. The Seokhyeon-ri and Gunnyang-ri routes will see timetable adjustments to minimize inconvenience for residents.


Yanggu County plans to gather a wide range of resident feedback regarding these route and timetable adjustments, comprehensively review the input, and finalize the operation plan accordingly.


Kim Youngmi, Director of Urban Transportation, stated, "These adjustments to public bus routes and timetables are intended to reduce inconvenience and improve operational efficiency by reflecting residents’ actual usage conditions and travel patterns. We will ensure that sufficient feedback is collected before implementation, incorporate voices from the field, and establish a final operation plan to provide more convenient and reliable public transportation services."
