- Two additional buses added from April 24, increasing units from 3 to 5 to reduce headways during commuting hours -

Incheon Metropolitan City (Mayor Yoo Jeong-bok) announced that two buses will be added to the M6464 metropolitan express bus route, which operates from “Hillstate Lake Songdo 2-cha” in Songdo, Incheon, to Gangnam Station in Seoul, to reduce service intervals, starting April 24.

The route began operations on February 28 to address transportation inconveniences for residents in Songdo District 6 and parts of District 3, where the population has recently increased due to the move-in of large-scale apartment complexes, enabling direct travel to Gangnam without transfers.

At the time of launch, there was a possibility of schedule adjustments due to delays in vehicle procurement and driver hiring. However, Incheon secured the necessary vehicles and personnel through coordination with the transport operator and commenced service with three buses, including one chartered bus, to improve transportation convenience for Songdo residents.

With this expansion, the number of buses on the M6464 route will increase from three to five on weekdays (including one chartered bus), significantly improving user convenience by reducing headways during peak commuting hours by approximately half.

Since the implementation of the semi-public operation system for metropolitan buses, overall service reliability has improved. Incheon plans to continue expanding the number of units for metropolitan express buses (M Bus) and direct seat buses through close cooperation with transport operators.

Mayor Yoo Jeong-bok stated, “Expanding the metropolitan transportation network connecting key hubs in the capital region is a critical task for ensuring citizens’ mobility rights and enhancing urban competitiveness. We will continue to improve the citizens’ quality of life by establishing a balanced transportation infrastructure.”
