New Rural Bus Route Linking Jangheung Station and Bus Terminal...Improved Transfers Connected to Trains

Shuttle Service Timed to Train Arrivals Operates Eight Times a Day

Jangheung County in Jeollanam-do has opened and is operating a new rural bus route connecting Jangheung Station and Jangheung Bus Terminal. This measure is intended to resolve transfer inconveniences for rail passengers.

According to Jangheung County on February 12, the existing buses that pass through Jangheung Station on the Mokpo-Boseong railway line, which have been in operation since late September last year, ran six times a day. However, because the timetable did not align with train arrival times, passengers had to use taxis or private cars, which had been raised as an inconvenience.

To improve mobility for rail passengers and local residents, the county created a customized shuttle bus route aligned with train schedules and began operating it on February 2.

The new route circulates along the approximately 1.1 km section connecting Jangheung Station and Jangheung Bus Terminal. The service is operated so that the bus waits at the station about five minutes before train arrival, improving transfer convenience. The bus runs a total of eight times a day, with six weekday services and two additional services on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. It departs after stopping at Jangheung Station for about 10 minutes.

An official from Jangheung County said, "By establishing a transfer system between rail and bus, we expect to improve travel convenience for rail passengers and tourists, enhance access to public transportation, revitalize local commercial districts and tourism, and improve transportation welfare for residents."
