                                                              by accessing the Daegu City bus information

            In addition, bus information guides have been installed at major stations since 2012, allowing
            inhabitants to check bus arrival times, and current time and weather information without additional
            equipment.

            By continuously expanding the installation of bus information guidance devices, Daegu plans to
            continue to promote an environment in which all inhabitants can receive accurate bus information.
