Posted by Snilcher on Mon Dec 25 12:57:07 2023 https://www.hankookilbo.com/News/Read/A2023122515060004473 (Translated from Korean by Google Translate) Seoul village buses also inform the ‘congestion level inside the bus’ Expanded to include city buses and village buses, covering 37 routes, divided into 3 levels: leisure, normal, and congested.  At a village bus stop in Seoul, the congestion level of the village bus is displayed. Provided by Seoul Metropolitan Government In the future, you will be able to check the congestion level in real time on village buses in Seoul. The city of Seoul announced on the 25th that it would implement a ‘village bus congestion information service’ starting from the 26th. The purpose is to increase the convenience of public transportation for local residents and the elderly and the weak who use buses. The local bus congestion information service classifies the number of passengers into three levels: 'free', 'normal', and 'congested'. The congestion level is calculated by calculating the number of passengers using the boarding and disembarking information of the transportation card contacted on the terminal, and is displayed considering the number of seats for each vehicle type. The city plans to gradually expand the service after trial operation on 20 routes with priority service and 17 routes on which Bus Information Terminals (BITs) were newly installed (188 stops) this year. Since 2017, the city of Seoul has been providing information on congestion levels for city buses (main line, branch line, and loop) for the first time in the country. In-vehicle congestion can be checked at bus information terminals at bus stops and the Seoul Transportation Information Center (TOPIS). Jong-jang Yoon, head of the city's urban transportation department, said, "We expect that the convenience of citizens, including the transportation vulnerable and local residents, in using public transportation will greatly improve as congestion information is provided to even village buses." He added, "We will continue to do our best to improve traffic information services in the future." |
