In the transportation pledge announced on May 14, candidate Sun stated, "The key is to drastically reduce the commuting time, which is the greatest pain point for Goyang citizens," and added, "We will pursue practical and immediate solutions, ranging from bus route reform to road structure improvements."


First, Sun pledged to review and overhaul all bus routes throughout Goyang City within her first year in office. To achieve this, she will introduce a "route bidding-type semi-public management system" to strengthen the public nature of routes and enhance convenience for citizens.


In particular, to compensate for Seoul City's limitations on bus fleet expansion, she plans to introduce the "Goyang-style PyeonhaG Bus." By deploying premium charter buses on 30 new routes, she aims to eliminate public transportation blind spots and improve commuting efficiency during peak hours.


She will also promote the construction of an AI-based Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) to alleviate traffic congestion. By utilizing AI-powered intelligent signal systems to analyze real-time traffic volume and set optimal signal cycles, she aims to improve vehicle flow at major bottlenecks. She explained that this would increase bus punctuality and minimize road congestion time.


For the frequently congested Ilsan IC, Sun pledged to build a new "Ilsan IC-Lake Road connecting ramp." By dispersing the concentrated flow of vehicles headed towards Baekseok Station toward Lake Road, she aims to alleviate bottlenecks. Sun's campaign expects that, should these measures be implemented, citizens' evening commute times could be reduced by up to 30 minutes.

Additionally, she promised to add a left-turn lane at Janghang IC to relieve bottlenecks, and to improve the transfer system at Daegok Station by installing elevators in both directions, thereby enhancing convenience for citizens.



Minkyung Sun emphasized, "When it comes to transportation policy, action matters more than words. Upon election, I will focus the full administrative capacity of the city to complete this transportation revolution and return precious time to Goyang citizens."
