Osan City in Gyeonggi Province announced on the 18th that it has finalized a bus route restructuring plan to respond to the increased traffic demand in Segyo 2 District and will implement it sequentially from the 18th.
The routes subject to this restructuring are city buses No. 7, 7-5, 60, and village bus No. 99. The main changes include ▲adding stops to improve school commuting convenience and serve traffic-vulnerable areas (No. 7) ▲switching to large vehicles due to increased demand (No. 7-5) ▲extending routes and adding stops due to the development of large apartment complexes (No. 60, 99), among others.
Osan City will sequentially implement the restructured city bus and village bus routes reflecting the demand in Segyo 2 District starting from the 18th. Large electric low-floor buses will be deployed on city bus route 7-5 instead of the existing small buses. Provided by Osan City
