It was announced on the 4th that it would be promoted.
Those eligible for support are teenagers aged 13 to 23 who live in the province according to their resident registration, and can receive an immediate discount of 1,000 won per case when using a shared bicycle linked through the ‘Ttokta’ app, the provincial integrated transportation platform. In addition to the existing public transportation fare subsidy, you can receive up to 120,000 won per year (up to 60,000 won per semi-annual).
Currently, there are about 40,000 shared bicycles in the province, and about 8,000 of them are eligible for discounted rates. The province plans to add more than 10,000 bicycles by the first half of next year.
Eom Man-do, head of the Metropolitan Transportation Policy Division, said, “I am very pleased to have kept the promise I made at the joint talk after just over a year.” He added, “We want to reduce the burden of transportation costs on youth and at the same time contribute to the practice of carbon neutrality, and help youth build a sustainable future.” “I look forward to having the opportunity to use more diverse means of transportation.”
Min Kyung-seon, CEO of Gyeonggi Transportation Corporation, said, “We will give youth living nearby the option of administrative services so that more youth can receive transportation subsidy, and we will strive to provide convenient services through the Dtokta platform.”
Meanwhile, starting in 2020, the province has been providing up to 120,000 won per year to youth in the province when they use public transportation through the ‘Youth Transportation Expense Support Project’.
