Renovated Airport Bus Operations Commence on July 31

Renovated Airport Bus Operations Commence on July 31□ From July 31, 2025 onward, coinciding with the holiday season, ten airport buses will run regular round trips.□ Gimhae Airport Buses will cover two routes: ▲ Line 1: Between Haeundae·Gijang and Gimhae International Airport, with the first departure from Gijang at 04:50; and ▲ Line 2: Between Seomyeon·Bujeon and Gimhae International Airport, with the first departure from Bujeon Station at 06:00.○ Line 1 (Haeundae·Gijang) leaves Banyan Tree Haeundae Busan and passes Jangsan Station, Haeundae Beach, and Hanwha Resort Haeundae, before reaching Gimhae International Airport via Gwangandaegyo Bridge.○ Line 2 (Seomyeon·Bujeon) utilizes the Bus Rapid Transit network, starting at the BRT stop at Bujeon Station and proceeding past Seomyeon Station (Lotte Department Store).□ Adult fares are ▲ 9,500 won for Line 1; and ▲ 7,500 won for Line 2. Public transit transfer benefits are not applicable.○ Fares are approximately 500 won less than those of the prior airport bus service, which was discontinued in 2024.○ Reservations require a credit card. Onboard payments take credit cards and transportation cards. Please note that buses are cashless.□ On-site boarding is unavailable once all seats are filled, so booking through Bustago, an intercity bus booking app, is strongly recommended.○ QR Code tickets are scanned upon entry. Seat selection cannot be made in advance.□ The new service improves on its predecessor by: ▲ shortening travel time on Line 1 by using Gwangandaegyo Bridge instead of the Suyeong Intersection; and ▲ taking advantage of the Bus Rapid Transit network on Line 2 rather than the Dongseo Overpass, with stops adjacent to Dong-eui University Station and Jurye Station.□ Linked to the Busan Bus Information Management System, live bus locations and schedules are accessible on Kakao Map and Naver Map, which enables more accurate arrival predictions and boosts operational reliability.

Busan named World Design Capital 2028

source: visitbusanBusan was named the World Design Capital 2028, a title awarded biennially to cities that utilize design as a tool to enhance economic, social, cultural and environmental quality of life.The World Design Organization, which selects the designated cities, recognized and highly valued Busan’s “long-standing commitment to using design as a catalyst for sustainable urban development, cultural enrichment and inclusive innovation.” The WDC 2028 Selection Committee, comprised of five international experts in design, public policy, sustainable development and urban planning, selected Busan over Hangzhou, China. The Selection Committee noted, “Busan’s bid presents a compelling vision of a city using design to redefine its identity and purpose on a global stage. This strategic, inclusive and people-first approach to design is what has been integral to the World Design Capital programme from the start, and we look forward to seeing the designation’s impact come 2028.”Under the theme “Inclusive City, Engaged Design,” Busan presented a citizen-centered service design model with a unique approach that highlights design’s social role and emphasizes citizen participation and community involvement. During the WDO inspectors’ visit, the city showcased practical initiatives aligned with its core design strategy, including projects that encourage citizen engagement and foster an educational system centered around design. The integration of urban policy and design was also noted as one of Busan’s strengths. Key examples include Bongsan Village in Yeongdo, Dongseo University, North Port and F1963, a former factory transformed into a cultural complex.A WDO official remarked, “Busan has strong potential to lead urban transformation through design culture. We believe this designation will spark Busan’s emergence as a city with global influence, extending far beyond Korea.” The official designation will be announced and celebrated in September, at the 34th World Design Congress in London. With this meaningful milestone, Busan City is committed to upholding its title and reputation through continuous efforts. In collaboration with the WDO, the city plans to establish a local committee and a dedicated department to develop a variety of programs that reflect the role and value of a World Design Capital.<Today's Vocabulary - 오늘의 단어>bienially: 2년마다 utilize: 활용하다 catalyst: 기폭제 sustainable: 지속가능한 inclusive: 폭넓은 compelling: 설득력있는 redefine: 재정립하다 integral: 필수적인 empahsize: 강조하다 emergence: 출현, 부상Editor: Song SoomiCopy Editors: Ryu Hyoseung, Anton J.
