Case Study
Shucle's Local Impact in Platform Service Areas
Case 1. Hub-Centric Mobility
Okjeong New Town, Yangju
Better Accessibility to the Metro Station
About Okjeong
• Most of the travel demand arises between residential areas and the metro station, with a high concentration of commute travel demand, and relatively little mobility within the local area.
• The existing three bus routes were unable to meet the demand outside the central area, resulting in long wait times and inefficient transfers, leading to frequent complaints.
Effect
• 51.5% decrease in total travel time
• Significant enhancement in mobility convenience
• Increased operation efficiency to and from major destinations during peak hours
Case 2. Rural Areas with Aged Population
Daebudo, Ansan
Senior Pedestrian Travel Down 80%
About Daebudo
• A rural area with low population density and high proportion of elderly residents.
• Inconvenient mass transit system with fixed-route buses operating every 20 to 120 minutes.
• Long walking distance to bus stops complicating transit use
Effect
• Out-of-vehicle time reduced by 80.3%
• Call-a-ride service to better accommodate elderly travel demand

Case 4. Targeting Urgent Transportation Issues
Gimpo, Gyeonggido
Relieving Gimpo Goldline Crowding
About Gimpo
• Sharp increase of travel demand with 16,000 newly constructed apartment units.
• The extreme congestion of the Gimpo Goldline during peak hours resulted in an emergency government measure, launching DRT in the area within just 70 days.
Effect
• Gimpo Goldline congestion rate dropped from 250% to 200% with the introduction of fixed-route DRT service.
• Enhanced commuter satisfaction with seat reservation and closer distance to boarding stops.
• Different operational modes depending on the time of day for improved service usability during peak hours and efficiency during off-peak hours
