Although approximately 28% of Uijeongbu residents commute to areas outside the city, there is a lack of sufficient metropolitan transit options to support this demand. In particular, citizens have continued to experience long wait times and severe congestion during rush hours.

To address these issues, candidate Kim has worked over the past four years to expand express bus routes. He has led improvements in transportation conditions by introducing and increasing the number of G6000 and G6100 routes, as well as launching a new express bus service from the Heungseon district to Gwanghwamun. However, he emphasized a strong commitment to more fundamental improvements, noting that citizens still perceive limitations in the current system.

The core of this pledge is to establish new express bus routes that directly connect all areas of Uijeongbu to major destinations in Seoul and to expand and increase the frequency of existing routes.

The plan includes strengthening direct routes to major business districts such as Gangnam, Jamsil, and Gwanghwamun, and setting up an operational system targeting intervals of around 10 minutes between buses during rush hours.

Through these measures, the aim is to create an environment where citizens can use express buses without long waits, thereby achieving tangible improvements in transportation that residents can feel in their daily lives.

Once the policy to expand Seoul-bound express buses is implemented, travel times to major destinations in Seoul are expected to decrease and accessibility will be greatly improved. In particular, reducing intervals between buses will help alleviate wait times and congestion, leading to a dramatic improvement in commuting convenience for citizens.

Candidate Kim stated, "When transportation changes, so does the quality of citizens' lives," and pledged, "We will make the journey to Seoul faster and more convenient, bringing real changes to people's daily lives."
