Daegu implemented a Bus Operation
Management System (BMS) in August 2006.
As of 2020, the Daegu BMS allows for real-
time information to be displayed at each
of the 3 226 bus stops and individual bus
locations to mitigate traffic congestion in the
city centre, ensure on-time arrival of buses
and comply with dispatch intervals.
Anyone can search for bus information easily
by accessing the Daegu City bus information
system through their smartphone or PC.
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.
