Starting Saturday, December 21, 2024, Ulsan’s city bus routes will undergo a significant overhaul to improve efficiency and accessibility. These changes are part of Ulsan’s ongoing efforts to create a more citizen-focused public transportation system using data-driven analysis and public feedback.

Key Highlights of the Bus System Overhaul:

1. New Route Configurations: Some routes will be entirely restructured to reduce redundancy and enhance connectivity between key areas.
   • Example: Route 133 will be reinstated, providing service between UNIST and Myeongchon Depot, addressing commuter demands in these areas.
   • Other routes, like 358, will adjust their endpoints to serve areas with higher passenger volumes more effectively.
2. Discontinued Routes: A few underutilized routes, such as 233, will be permanently removed.
3. Adjusted Frequency: Several routes will have updated intervals to better match demand. For instance, high-demand routes like 743 may maintain their 14-minute frequency, but final schedules are still under review.
4. Improved Access to Suburban Areas: New connections will better serve outer districts, but concerns about accessibility in certain rural zones are being addressed through supplemental planning.
