New Jamsil bike station let cyclists park, repair rides and hop on Hangang Bus

Seoul will unveil a new bike station along the Han River on November 14, aiming to integrate cycling with river bus transit. This facility, named Jamsil Hangang Bike Station, will serve as a centralized hub for cyclists, enabling them to rest, repair their bicycles, and switch between land and water routes.

Situated adjacent to the Jamsil Hangang Bus terminal, the station will be open from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily, with free entry. It will be equipped with self-service repair tools, charging stations for electric bikes, and first-aid kits. Cyclists can take advantage of direct pedestrian access to the river bus dock.

Designed to cater to both commuters and recreational riders, the station will provide a seamless transition between cycling and river bus travel. Passengers can bring their bicycles onto the Han River buses, disembark at Jamsil, and utilize the station before continuing their journey. Similarly, cyclists who are exploring the Han River paths can stop by the facility before boarding a water bus.

The station boasts a modular design, allowing the city to adapt its facilities or add features based on demand and availability. This flexibility ensures that the Jamsil Hangang Bike Station remains a versatile and responsive resource for the community, facilitating the easy combination of cycling and water transportation.
