Lee Sang-il, Mayor of Yongin, said, "We have upgraded the facilities at metropolitan bus transfer stops, where there are many users, so that citizens can wait for buses comfortably," adding, "We will continue to improve the boarding and alighting environment to ensure citizens can use public transportation conveniently and safely."

The new bus stops have been installed at Exit 6 of Giheung Station; Bojeong-dong Administrative Welfare Center in Giheung-gu; Suji District Heating Corporation; Saeteo Village in Suji-gu; and in front of the Yongin Intercity Bus Terminal and Yongin The Mark Daesyang in Cheoin-gu.

Each stop features an enclosed shelter that blocks road exhaust and dust from entering. The stops are also equipped with air conditioning and heating systems, as well as a Bus Information Terminal (BIT) that provides real-time bus arrival information.

For the convenience of transportation-vulnerable groups, such as people with disabilities and the elderly, wheelchair spaces have been secured and both tactile blocks and linear blocks have been installed.

The city invested a total of 366 million won, including 256 million won from the city budget and 110 million won from the provincial budget. Construction started in May and was completed in September.
