The opening ceremony, attended by parents and local residents, announced the start of operation of Kids Stations installed at three locations: Hwado Elementary School, Cheonma Elementary School, and in front of the main gate of Maseok Station Sindobre뉴 3rd Apartment.

The project was promoted with a special adjustment grant from Gyeonggi Province (320 million KRW) and Namyangju City’s budget (about 30 million KRW), aiming to prevent safety accidents that may occur during children’s commuting to and from school and waiting for academy vehicles.

In particular, the bus stops include various functions such as a vehicle arrival notification system, external display for waiting status, heating and cooling and air purifier, CCTV and unmanned security system, traffic safety education video provision, and automatic doors, enhancing the safety and convenience of children.

In the subsequent agreement ceremony, an operation maintenance agreement was signed among the city, the school parent association, and the apartment residents’ representative meeting. According to the agreement, each institution plans to cooperate to maintain cleanliness and create a safe usage environment for the facilities.

Mayor Joo Gwang-deok said, “Kids Station is not just a simple bus stop but an important starting point to create an environment where children can commute safely,” and added, “I hope this facility will become a leading example in strengthening children’s traffic safety in the region.”

Mayor Joo also added, “Namyangju City will continue to strive to create a safe and convenient city not only for children but for all citizens.”
