Incheon City to Add Seven New City Bus Routes in Yeongjong, Gyeyang, Geomdan, and Ganghwa

Application for Transportation Operators... Service to Begin in October This Year

Incheon City will establish seven new city bus routes in response to rising public transportation demand in the areas of Yeongjong, Gyeyang, Geomdan, and Ganghwa.

The city will be accepting applications from transportation operators for six general bus routes (five branch lines and one main line) and one express seat route from April 27, 2026, until May 11, 2026. The routes in question were finalized last month through a review by the city's Bus Policy Committee.

The specific routes are as follows: Route 2202 (Unseo Station Exit 2–Yeongjong Station), Route 2251 (Yeongjong Public Bus Garage–Shindo Dock), Route 5311 (Susan-dong–Ganghwa Terminal), Route 7701 (Yuseung Apartment–Gyeyang Station), and Route 8901 (Luwon Forest Village–Dangha-dong Administrative Welfare Center).

The newly established routes will be operated under a limited license for three years and may be extended for up to a maximum of nine years if renewed. The city aims to have the new routes in operation around October 2026.

An official from Incheon City stated, "We are establishing new routes to respond quickly to changing public transportation demand due to large-scale residential development and the creation of industrial complexes," and added,

"Once the seven routes are expanded, connections to major hubs will be strengthened, making commuting and school travel much more convenient."
