The Daegu City Government plans to change the exterior colors of city buses in 2010 and 2011. The current city bus designs were assigned in 2001 and 2002, but the City Government believes that the color change will bring vitality to the city's atmosphere. They expect the change will increase the bus usage and other services. The city has been operating LED destination signs in front of the bus outside and the bus route information in English for passengers in the bus for 10 buses which run 5 routes since the end of September. There will be the test operation for a couple of months. Starting in January next year, the destination sign and bus route information in English will be in operation for 135 buses with LED destination signs and 1,658 buses with bus route information for passengers. With to this service, the passengers will see more clearly the destination in front of the bus and better navigate the city's public transportation routes.
