Hello, I am a hopeful guide providing useful information for a fulfilling middle-aged life. The government supports free subway rides for seniors aged 65 and over, but when looking at the country as a whole, there are many more areas without subways. Therefore, some local governments provide transportation subsidies for seniors, including buses and taxis. In this session, I will summarize the regions that support transportation costs for seniors. I will provide detailed information on which areas currently offer subsidies, as well as those that will implement new support in 2023, including how much is provided and how to apply. Please remember to like this video and subscribe with notifications. First, let me inform you about the regions that will begin supporting transportation costs in 2023. Starting from April 2023, in Anseong City, Gyeonggi Province, seniors aged 65 and over can ride city buses for free up to 80 times a month.

To use the service for free, you need to obtain a G-Pass card. You can get the G-Pass card at any branch of the Nonghyup or the Agricultural Cooperative in the area by bringing your identification. After charging the transportation card, you can use the bus, and the amount will be reimbursed in cash to your personal account on a quarterly basis. This is applicable in Pocheon City, Gyeonggi Province. Starting from March 2023, Pocheon City will provide transportation cards to seniors aged 65 and older, which can be used up to a limit of 200,000 won per year, distributed quarterly. Each person will receive a limit of 50,000 won to use first, and the amount spent will be deposited into their account later. The third city is Anyang City, Gyeonggi Province. Anyang City will support residents aged 65 and older who are registered in Anyang City by providing 40,000 won per quarter, for a total of 160,000 won per year, to cover the fares for the village buses and city buses operated by Anyang City. And...

Seongnam City in Gyeonggi Province plans to support bus fares for seniors aged 70 and over with an annual subsidy of 230,000 won starting in 2023. In the sixth region, Gyeongsangbuk-do will allow free use of public transportation for seniors aged 70 and over, as well as children and adolescents aged 6 to 17, disabled individuals, severely disabled individuals, one accompanying caregiver, independence activists, and national veterans. However, the number of free rides for children and adolescents will be limited to a maximum of three times per day. In 2023, there will be a pilot operation in selected cities and counties, with plans to expand to all regions in 2024 after budget sharing and system preparations. In Daegu Metropolitan City, seniors aged 70 and over will be able to use public transportation for free. Card issuance is expected to begin in the first half of 2023, with implementation starting in the second half. Additionally, Cheongsong-gun in Gyeongbuk plans to make city bus fares, currently 1,300 won, free starting January 1, 2023, benefiting not only seniors but all residents.

Since tourists can also use the bus for free, please take note of this. Additionally, during the recent local elections, cities such as Suwon in Gyeonggi Province, Gwangyang in Jeonnam, Wonju in Gangwon Province, Daejeon, Sejong, Incheon, Ulsan, and Changwon promised free bus fares for seniors. Therefore, it might be worth looking forward to this. Now, I will mention the regions currently providing transportation subsidies. In Hwaseong City, Gyeonggi Province, seniors aged 65 and over can use the bus for free as part of the city's free transportation policy. Moreover, Gwangmyeong City in Gyeonggi Province provides transportation subsidies of 160,000 won for seniors aged 65 and over. The subsidy amount is up to 40,000 won per quarter, totaling 160,000 won per year, which allows for free use of city buses over 100 times a year based on the bus fare. It is said that the system works by first paying the bus fare with a G-Pass card and then getting reimbursed through a Nonghyup bank account. The G-Pass card is available at Nonghyup banks within Gwangmyeong City.

You can visit the cooperative with your identification card. Next, we are in Namyangju, Gyeonggi Province. This program provides transportation subsidies for seniors aged 65 and over using the G-Pass card. The support amount is 30,000 won per quarter, with a maximum annual support of 120,000 won. You can apply by visiting the local agricultural cooperative or livestock cooperative with your identification card starting from your 65th birthday. Please note that transportation costs will be paid in advance, and the amount will be deposited in cash into the agricultural or livestock cooperative account within the quarterly support limit.

The fourth location is Gyeongju, Gyeongsangbuk-do. Gyeongju City provides a taxi card for seniors aged 70 and over. The senior taxi card automatically charges 132,000 won at the beginning of the year, based on 40 rides at a basic fare of 3,300 won. Seniors only need to cover any amount exceeding the basic fare. Please bring your identification card and visit your local administrative welfare center for more information.

Next, we move to Chuncheon City in Gangwon Province.

Chuncheon City issues the Spring Card, which allows seniors aged 65 and over to use the bus for free up to 20 times a month. Applications can be made starting one month before their 65th birthday. To apply, seniors need to visit their local community center with their identification. Lastly, Jeju Island has implemented a public Happy Taxi service that seniors aged 65 and over can use for free. By using the Transportation Welfare Card, they can avail of up to 7,000 won per ride, up to 24 times a year. The Jeju Transportation Welfare Card can be obtained by visiting any Jeju Bank branch in the province with identification. Hopeful supporters are cheering on small business owners in South Korea. In these economically challenging times, small businesses are facing significant difficulties in promotion. Hopeful supporters will help promote on their behalf.
