Late-Night ‘Byeolbam Bus’ Expands to Four Routes on August 24
The city of Incheon has announced that starting August 24, it will expand the late-night bus service, known as the "Byeolbam Bus," from the current two routes to four routes.
The "Byeolbam Bus" was introduced earlier this year to address the inconvenience faced by citizens traveling between Incheon and Seoul, as subway services end late at night, leaving no bus connections. This late-night bus service aims to fill that gap.
An Incheon city official stated, "With the introduction of the Byeolbam Bus, we hope to enhance the convenience and safety of public transportation for citizens during late hours and alleviate the economic burden of travel between Incheon and Seoul."
