Goyang Special City announced that it has launched operations of the newly established Village Bus Route 050 to enhance transportation convenience for residents in areas with limited access to public transit.

This route was introduced to fill the transportation gap caused by the discontinuation of Customized Bus Route 60. The city held a public recruitment process for transport operators to ensure stable service, and after a thorough review, selected local transport company YeoSan Transportation Co., Ltd. as the final operator and completed preparations for the launch.

Village Bus Route 050 operates over a 20-kilometer section, starting from the Old Village Community Center in Seongseok-dong, passing through locations such as Dungji Village, Cheonga Park, Pureume Village, in front of the military base, and Jungsan High School, before reaching Haetae Shopping Center and Jungsan Intersection. The route is expected to greatly improve commuting convenience for local residents and students alike.

The route operates 11 times a day on weekdays, with the first bus departing at 5:40 a.m. from the Old Village Community Center. Depending on road conditions and time of day, intervals between buses range from 60 to 100 minutes. There is no service on weekends and public holidays, taking into account passenger demand.
