On New Year’s Eve, 15 buses passing through Jongno will run until 2 a.m. the following day for the convenience of those attending the New Year’s bell-ringing ceremony at Bosingak in Jongno. 

The 47 late-night buses, which operate in nine routes, will run from 11:30 a.m. to 5 a.m. as usual. 

Details of the routes and operating hours for the buses will be provided on the digital bus information displays at bus stops and at the Seoul Traffic mobile app, the city government said.
