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 3. Covering a Wide Variety of Mobility Demand

Sejong 1 & 2 Living Area,
Shucle as an Established Daily Mobility

About Sejong

• Urban area with high population density.
• Diverse travel patterns across age groups.
• Local bus network unable to meet the local travel demand.
• Irregular and scattered mobility needs encouraging private car use.
• Modal share of private cars at 46.9%, causing significant traffic congestions

Effect

• Private car usage decreased by 42.1%.
• Out-of-vehicle time reduced by 70.3%.
• Improved traffic conditions and better accessibilty.

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

“Shucle hopes to offer a fresh perspective on the meaning of mobility in everyday life, exploring how the integration of smart technologies can transform transportation, and ultimately contribute to finding solutions for the future.”
