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, creating a convenient link between cycling and river bus transportation. This Jamsil Hangang Bike Station will be situated next to the Jamsil Hangang Bus terminal, offering a dedicated space for cyclists to rest, repair their bikes, and switch between land and water routes.

Open daily from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. without any admission fee, the station boasts self-service repair equipment, charging stations for electric bikes, and easy pedestrian access to the river bus dock. The facility caters to both daily commuters and leisurely riders, equipped with bicycle repair tools, first-aid kits, and a designated resting area.

By placing the station near the Han River, commuters can conveniently bring their bicycles aboard river buses, disembark at Jamsil, utilize the station, and then continue their journey. Conversely, cyclists can also use the station as a stopping point while enjoying the Han River paths before boarding a water bus. The station's modular design enables the city to adjust facilities or add features as needed based on demand and availability.
