Gimpo Gold Valley Industrial Complex Commute Expands... Route Change for Bus No. 1002

Connection Between Incheon Subway Lines 1 and 2 and Industrial Complex Begins October 1

Gwanghwamun-bound Section Shortened to Yeomchang-dong

Mayor Kim Gi-hyung: "The Standard for Transportation Policy Is the Convenience Felt by Citizens"

The commute for workers at the Gimpo Gold Valley Industrial Complex is about to become more convenient. Gimpo City in Gyeonggi Province will revise the route of city bus No. 1002 to allow passengers to transfer from Incheon Subway Lines 1 and 2 to the bus and travel directly to the industrial complex.

On September 29, Gimpo City announced that the No. 1002 route, which currently operates between Wanjeong Sageori and Gwanghwamun Station, will be changed starting from October 1. The starting point, which was previously Wanjeong Sageori, will be extended to the Daepori Marine Corps 2nd Division Entrance stop in Yangchon-eup. The revised route will also newly include stops at Ezentechno Zone, Hwanggeumsandan 3 Intersection, Geomdanoryu Station, and Wanggil Station.

As a result, commuters will now be able to transfer to No. 1002 at Incheon Subway Line 1's Ara Station and Line 2's Wanjeong, Wanggil, and Geomdanoryu Stations and travel directly to the Gold Valley Industrial Complex. The change was coordinated between Gimpo City and Incheon City to coincide with the relocation of the bus depot from the Wanjeong Sageori area to Daepori.

The Seoul-bound terminal will also be shortened, changing from Gwanghwamun Station Exit 7 to Yeomchang Dong-A 3rd Apartment.

Gimpo City explained that the proportion of Gimpo City residents using the section between the National Assembly and Gwanghwamun Station is only 1.7%, and severe traffic congestion there means that shortening the route will help maintain more stable bus intervals.

Kim Gi-hyung, Mayor of Gimpo, stated, "All standards for transportation policies during the 9th term of elected governance in Gimpo are based on the convenience felt by citizens," adding, "We will continue to steadily revise bus routes to reduce inconveniences for our citizens."
