From September 14, the route will include six stops such as KINTEX Station

Travel from Gurae-dong to Seoul Station expected to take about one hour

Mayor Lee Kihyung: "This will ease congestion on the Gold Line and expand commuting options to Seoul"

A new bus route will soon connect Gimpo Hangang New Town directly to KINTEX Station on the GTX-A commuter rail line, expanding transportation options for residents commuting from Gimpo to Seoul Station.

The city of Gimpo in Gyeonggi Province announced on September 9 that, starting September 14, the No. 2000 city bus route will be modified to include a stop at KINTEX Station on the GTX-A line. This initiative is part of the ninth mayoral administration's tenth priority in transportation: "Expansion of GTX-A Connection Buses and Increased Bus Service During Congested Hours for the Gimpo Gold Line."

The city anticipates that, by transferring between the No. 2000 bus and the GTX-A, passengers will be able to travel from Gurae-dong to Seoul Station in about one hour, and from Janggi-dong in approximately 52 minutes. This adds a new travel option to the existing links that include the Gimpo Gold Line, Airport Railroad, M6117 express bus, and the No. 33 city bus/GTX-A connection routes.

With this route adjustment in the Gimpo section, service to LH Hangaram Maeul 2nd Complex, the rear gate of Woomee Lin Apartment, and Hosu Maeul I-Pyunhansesang·Hangaram Woomee Lin stops will be shortened. Instead, the bus will now pass through the Gurae-dong Administrative Welfare Center and the Hangang Bando Ubora 5th Complex stops.

Passengers affected by shorter service can use the modified stops or transfer to the No. 33 city bus at the Hosu Maeul I-Pyunhansesang·Hangaram Woomee Lin stop.

In the Goyang section, the bus will now stop at six stations instead of the previous Korea Institute of Civil Engineering and Building Technology and KINTEX stops: KINTEX, Hillstate Ilsan, Forena KINTEX Officetel (GTX-A KINTEX Station), Hyundai Department Store, KINTEX Back Gate, and KINTEX Exhibition Center 1.

Mayor Lee Kihyung stated, "Gimpo City is working to expand the metropolitan transit network with the goal of making transportation more convenient for residents, while continuously seeking ways to immediately alleviate inconveniences. We expect that linking the No. 2000 bus with the GTX-A line will help ease congestion on the Gimpo Gold Line during commuting hours and improve commuting conditions for Hangang New Town residents traveling toward Seoul Station. The city will continue updating bus routes to meet new residential demand in the future."
