This new route was introduced to connect Pocheon's core tourist resources through the public transportation network, enhancing convenience for visitors and strengthening the foundation for stay-type tourism.


Route 99 departs from Pocheon Terminal and travels through Art Valley, Han-Yeoul Park Golf Course, and Hantangang Ecological Landscape Complex, ending in Gwanin-myeon. The bus operates four round trips per day, linking major tourist attractions with residential areas. It is expected to improve mobility not only for tourists but also for residents in transportation-vulnerable regions.


Pocheon City believes that this new route will increase accessibility between major tourist sites such as Art Valley and the Hantangang region, thereby enhancing convenience for visitors and invigorating the local economy and tourism industry by promoting greater use of public transportation.



In particular, the city is also considering flexible operations to meet demand during festivals and peak tourist seasons. Based on the basic operating system, ridership will be monitored, and additional large buses may be deployed during festival periods depending on operational conditions.
