The Busan Metropolitan Office of Education has worked with the city of Busan to establish comprehensive measures to ensure the smooth administration of the 2025 College Scholastic Ability Test (CSAT) on November 14.

This year, 27,356 students in Busan are expected to take the exam at 58 schools.

The city and the education office have formed various teams, including a general management team, traffic control team, transportation support team, noise control team, medical support team, and public relations team, all overseen by the Director of Youth and Industry.

The education office will work with the city to increase public transportation options to help students reach test sites on time.

On the day of the exam, the city will increase the operation of regular buses as well as village/neighborhood buses between 6 a.m. and 8 a.m., especially for bus routes along the 58 test site locations.

The bus-only lane system will be suspended from 7 a.m. to 9:00 a.m., except for the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system, while the self car-free day program will be temporarily stopped on the day of the test. The Busan Metropolitan City Fire & Disaster Headquarters will offer rides to students with disabilities requiring assistance getting to their testing locations.

Workers at government offices, public agencies, financial firms, schools and companies with more than 50 employees will be allowed to arrive at work by 10 a.m., an hour later than usual. The city hopes to curb early morning traffic congestion to allow students to get to their exams on time.

The transportation ministry also announced a temporary suspension of all takeoffs and landings from 1:05 p.m. to 1:40 p.m. to reduce noise during the English listening portion.

Planes already in the air must maintain a minimum altitude of 3 kilometers, with schedules for 156 flights adjusted in advance.

Additionally, South Korean banks will open an hour later, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., to ease morning traffic for students heading to exam sites.

This change may also apply to other financial institutions, though some branches in specific areas may operate as usual.
