The new route starts at Gwangmyeong Rest Area in Seongdong 1-ri, Yeongjung-myeon, and continues to Dongnam Middle and High School in Soheul-eup. This new route has been established to reduce the commuting burden for students traveling long distances and to create a safe and convenient commuting environment for middle and high school students within the city.

The service will operate three times a day: once in the morning for school arrival and twice in the afternoon for school dismissal. The morning bus departs daily at 7:30 a.m. For the afternoon, there are two dismissal buses: the first leaves at 3:30 p.m. on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and at 4:30 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The second dismissal bus departs at 5:00 p.m. every day, regardless of the day of the week.

The fare for youth is 1,160 won, and students can receive a transit discount when using a transportation card. Real-time bus location can also be checked through the 'Hello Bus 2.0' app, which is expected to further enhance commuting convenience.

Pocheon City began operating the Pochun Bus in the Pocheon and Soheul regions in 2025 and has continued to improve students' commuting conditions by adding the Pocheon-Soheul route and other initiatives.

Detailed timetables and specific route information for each bus stop can be found in the 'News' section of the Pocheon City website. For further information, please contact the Education Cooperation Team at the Pocheon City Education Policy Department.
