The Gimhae Airport Limousine Bus has reorganized its routes and schedules to provide enhanced, data-driven services tailored to passenger demand. Based on operational data from the past five months, this reorganization reflects a thoughtful analysis aimed at improving both passenger convenience and operational efficiency.
There are two main routes depending on the direction of travel. Option 1 (Haeundae/Gijang direction) has added two new stops to improve accessibility to the city’s eastern regions.
Passengers heading to the airport can now board at Osiria Theme Park, while those traveling to Gijang can board at the Hanwha Matier stop.
Additionally, the location of some stops near Haeundae Beach will be slightly adjusted. To ensure clarity for passengers, the stop will now use the same name for both directions, changed to “Haeundae Beach” from “Haeundae Beach Entrance.”
Notably, Option 1 will now be split into two distinct services: the Jangsan and Gijang routes. To meet operational demand, the Jangsan route service has been expanded, while the number of trips on the Gijang route has been reduced. This adjustment allows buses departing from Jangsan to run at 20- to 60-minute intervals, a significant improvement over the previous 60-minute gap. Furthermore, additional buses will be deployed during peak hours to alleviate overcrowding.
Option 2 (Seomyeon/Bujeon direction) will maintain its current routes and stops but now offers a reduced adult fare of 6,000 won – a 1,500 won decrease from last year. These buses will operate every 60 to 80 minutes.
