This agreement was established to improve transportation convenience for citizens, students, and faculty, as well as to enhance local transportation conditions. It is also intended to support the effort to have GTX-B line trains stop at Galmae Station and to reinforce transportation links between Galmae Station and Sahmyook University.

Accordingly, Guri City and Sahmyook University agreed to cooperate in various areas of transportation connectivity, including: supporting the effort to have GTX-B line trains stop at Galmae Station; strengthening transportation links such as operating shuttle (village) buses between Sahmyook University and Galmae Station; and expanding and improving transportation infrastructure such as road networks.

In particular, the effort to have GTX-B line trains stop at Galmae Station is being emphasized as essential for the transportation convenience of approximately 60,000 residents in the Galmae area, future residents of the upcoming Taereung Public Housing District (expected to include 6,800 households), and about 7,000 Sahmyook University students and faculty members who commute from the metropolitan area.

Mayor Paik Kyunghyun stated, "Through this agreement, we will dramatically improve the transportation environment in the Galmae area, including Sahmyook University, and strive to ensure that the plan to have GTX-B trains stop at Galmae Station is confirmed by actively reflecting the increasing transportation demand and changes in local development conditions."

President Je Haejong of Sahmyook University said, "I expect this cooperation will greatly enhance transportation convenience for students and faculty commuting from the metropolitan area," adding, "We will actively collaborate with Guri City to ensure that the establishment of a transportation system linked to the Galmae area leads to tangible results."

Meanwhile, Guri City plans to supplement existing feasibility study results and carry out a strategic research project that reflects the development of public housing districts near the Galmae area and the increasing commuting demand for Sahmyook University, in order to meet the requirements for an additional GTX-B stop at Galmae Station.
