Intercity express bus M5438, the first bust to connect Pyeongtaek city with capital Seoul’s Gangnam area, will kick off test operation from Friday.
The bus will run 18 times a day for the pilot period of one month.
Once the test period is over, starting July 1, a total of ten M5438 buses will run 36 times a day.
Each day’s first bus departs from Jije Station in Pyeongtaek at 5 a.m., and the last bus from Gangnam Station at midnight.
For the 70-kilometer distance, the trip will cost 2,200 won ($2) to 2,900 won depending on the place of departure. Interval times will be roughly an hour, give or take 30 minutes.
