Busan City Council promotes support for public transportation fares for youth

On the 7th, Busan City Council People Power Party member Seo Kuk-bo (Dongrae-gu 3) announced that he had proposed the 'Busan City Youth Public Transportation Fare Support Ordinance' to support public transportation fares for youth in the Busan area.

The proposed ordinance includes provisions that allow Busan City to support transportation expenses for youth aged 13 to 18 living in Busan when they use public transportation with a transportation card designated by Busan City.

In addition, the mayor of Busan was asked to establish a support plan every year that reflects the target, amount, method, and public transportation means to be supported.

As of last year, the cost of public transportation for teenagers in Busan was estimated at 37.8 billion won.

This ordinance is scheduled to be deliberated and voted on during the 341st regular meeting of the City Council.
