Seoul's 2020 city-bus bike pilot ended quietly after its 2-month window in December 2020.

Seoul launched a bus-bike pilot on five city-bus routes. Some buses used rear racks for up to two bikes; some electric buses allowed one bike inside in the wheelchair space. The city explicitly excluded powered micromobility and non-standard bicycles. The pilot referenced route access to Han River, Bukhansan, Dorimcheon, Anyangcheon, and connection with Line 7 bike carriage.

TL;DR

  • Seoul's 2020 city-bus bike pilot ended quietly after its 2-month window in December 2020.
  • Verification: confirmed source page.

This is the kind of rule people miss once, then remember forever.
