Changwon City, "Get Up to 30% Off Transportation Costs with the Altteul Transportation Card"

Mileage Accumulation for Walking or Biking When Using City Buses

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Saeyan] Changwon City, Gyeongnam Province, announced on the 27th that the Altteul Transportation Card project, which can save up to 30% on public transportation costs, will provide additional mileage to passengers who use public transportation early in the morning.

The Altteul Card is a transportation card that provides up to 20% mileage proportional to the distance traveled by walking or cycling when using city buses, and the card company offers an additional discount of about 10%.

First, from this year, the number of Altteul Card users will be significantly expanded to 3,500 people, and the "Early Bird Additional Mileage" system will be introduced.

From April 1 this year, if you board public transportation before 6:30 a.m. (based on the first boarding time in case of transfers), 50% additional mileage of the basic mileage will be provided.

By reducing the transportation costs for public transportation users commuting or attending school early in the morning, it is expected to help disperse public transportation demand and encourage social distancing.

The city plans to pilot the Early Bird system for six months, analyze its effects, and then decide whether to officially adopt it.

Additionally, the age range eligible for the additional mileage payment system applied to basic livelihood security recipients and the lower-income class will be expanded from the current youth group aged 19 to 34 to all ages, and on days when fine dust reduction measures are issued, the accumulation standard will be doubled only on those days.

Applicants for the project must obtain an Altteul Transportation Card, and mileage accumulation is possible when using public transportation at least 15 times a month.

Information about card issuance and usage can be found in the Altteul Transportation Card Mileage, and it must be used together with the app.

Last year, the city secured a budget of 92 million KRW to support mileage for 1,585 people, and this year plans to secure a budget of up to 200 million KRW to support 3,500 people.
