Hanyang University at Ansan station

Hanyang University at Ansan station (Korean한대앞역) is a station on Seoul Subway Line 4 & the Suin–Bundang Line in Ansan-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea.[1] It is named after the city's ERICA campus of Hanyang University.[1] Unlike the name of the station, Hanyang University is not right in front of the station. Hanyang University shuttle buses stop in front of the station.[2] Buses usually take students from the station to the university every 10 minutes on weekdays and every 30 minutes on weekends.[3] The bus operation time can be checked on the app called 휴아봇. It takes about 10 minutes from the station to the ERICA campus.[4]

Name

edit

At the time of its opening, the station was named "Handae" and "Handaeap", which was later changed to "Hanyang Univ. at Ansan" in 2001.[citation needed]

Even now, the sign near exit 1 is still written 'Handae-ap' because it is old.
