Starting November 20, intercity buses will connect KTX Osong Station’s bus transfer center with Incheon International Airport, with departures at 4 a.m. and 5 p.m. daily for two round trips via Ochang. The service addresses a long-standing access problem caused by the transfer center’s restriction to city buses, which forced Osong residents and rail passengers to travel elsewhere or make additional transfers for airport buses.
The route became possible after Cheongju and Korail amended their agreement on September 28 to allow exceptions for separately agreed routes.
