This project was implemented to alleviate traffic congestion that had occurred as village buses and taxis gathered along the roadside near the existing Guri Station on the Gyeongui–Jungang Line, and to provide a more convenient transfer system and a pleasant transportation service environment by securing a separate pick-up and drop-off area for private vehicles.

The Guri Station Transit Center has been built on both sides of Geonwon-daero, with a site area of approximately 3,730 square meters in the direction of Doldari Intersection and about 3,870 square meters toward Donggureung Station. Key facilities include three bus stops, two taxi stands, pick-up and drop-off areas for private vehicles, six rapid electric vehicle chargers, and bicycle racks.

Additionally, following the opening, the city plans to further improve transfer convenience for citizens using buses and taxis by constructing a direct passage connecting the transit center to Guri Station on Subway Line 8 through additional works.
