(1)The situation is the same at the intercity bus terminal in Hwajeong-dong, Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-do
(2)As the number of users decreased and the financial difficulties increased, the terminal operator recently conveyed its intention to close the business to the local government
(3)Bus terminal closures, which used to occur mainly in non-metropolitan areas with small populations, have been occurring frequently in the metropolitan area recently
(4)This is because more and more people prefer their own cars to express buses after the COVID-19 pandemic, and new alternative transportation methods such as high-speed railways have been established
(5)The current law also stipulates that local governments can operate bus terminals themselves when there are no operators who want to operate them
(6)However, for local governments, it is quite burdensome to take charge of the terminal operation, which costs a lot of money, such as purchasing land and operating expenses
(7)For this reason, Seongnam City said it would create a temporary terminal along the road to minimize inconvenience to citizens, and Goyang City suggested that the business operator delay the closure until a temporary stop was created
(8)They’re not willing to run themselves

(1)No public transportation facilities to and from local cities and big cities
(2)-> Increase in private vehicles Increase in traffic congestion
(3)People who can’t buy cars move to big cities
(4)-> Deepening urban overcrowding
