Muan County, part of the integrated Gwangju metropolitan area, will adjust the route of the public bus 333 starting August 1. The new route will directly connect the Oryong 1 and Oryong 2 districts, enhancing convenience for students commuting to school and improving residents' access to public transportation.
This route adjustment aims to improve the commuting conditions for students in Oryong 1 while addressing the transportation gap in Oryong 2, which is not served by the main bus lines 1 and 3.
The revised bus 333 route will add Oryong 1 to the existing loop between the Namak New Town and Oryong 2. As a result, it will serve key residential complexes such as Hoban Summit 1 and 3, and Prugio 2, as well as educational facilities including Hope Middle School, Hope Elementary School, and Love Elementary School.
Muan County expects that this route adjustment will significantly enhance commuting convenience for both students and residents during peak hours.
The 333 public bus will operate 24 times a day, with flexible scheduling during rush hours every 10 to 30 minutes. Additionally, the plan aims to minimize overlap with existing routes of the 100-seat bus and the public buses 50 and 55, thereby improving operational efficiency and passenger convenience.
As the demand for public transportation continues to grow due to the increasing population and expansion of living areas in the Namak and Oryong districts, Muan County plans to continuously analyze resident feedback and transportation needs to further improve bus routes.
Kim San, the mayor of Muan County, stated, "This route adjustment reflects the actual usage demands and changes in living areas of our residents. We will continue to strive to provide more convenient and comprehensive public transportation services based on traffic surveys and resident feedback."
Meanwhile, Muan County is continuously improving public and community bus routes in response to the population growth and expansion of living areas in the Namak and Oryong new towns, aiming to enhance public transportation services to eliminate transportation blind spots and strengthen residents' mobility rights.
