Gwangmyeong City Mayor Park Seungwon announced on November 15 that Route 6401, a direct-seat bus connecting Gwangmyeong Dome Velodrome with Nonhyeon Station in Seoul, will begin operating on November 17.

Route 6401 will depart from Gwangmyeong Dome Velodrome and stop at Onsin Elementary School, Hakon-dong Administrative Welfare Center, and KTX Gwangmyeong Station. In Seoul, it will serve Seoul National University, Seoul National University Station, Sadang Station, Chongshin University (Isu) Station, Sinbanpo Station, and Express Bus Terminal before reaching Nonhyeon Station.

Eight buses will make 40 trips a day, with intervals of 20 to 40 minutes. The first bus will depart at 4:30 a.m. and the last at 11:30 p.m. Fares will be 3,200 won for adults, 2,300 won for teenagers, and 1,600 won for children.

In May 2025, Gwangmyeong City proposed the route to the Metropolitan Transport Commission under the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport as a new project under the semi-public management system for metropolitan buses. After a review in November of the same year, it was selected as a new route.

The city expects the new route to make travel easier for residents commuting to work or school in southern Seoul and to improve access between KTX Gwangmyeong Station and Seoul Express Bus Terminal. It also plans to address transportation demand arising from the redevelopment and reconstruction of Gwangmyeong New Town and the development of the Gwangmyeong-Siheung public housing district and Techno Valley.

Gwangmyeong Mayor Park Seungwon said, "We will proactively respond to changes in transportation demand as the city grows and continue improving public transportation services that residents can experience in their daily lives."
