[Asia Economy Reporter Jong-il Park] Gwangjin-gu (Mayor Kim Seon-gap) held a business agreement ceremony on the 7th in the mayor's office with Liang Communications and T-money to alleviate transportation burdens for residents and promote the use of village buses through the 'Free Transportation Project for Children and Adolescents.'

This business agreement was prepared to establish and maintain an active cooperative relationship between parties for the smooth progress and success of the currently implemented 'Gwangjin-gu Free Transportation Project for Children and Adolescents on Village Buses.'

Through this agreement, the district office will formulate policies, allocate and execute related budgets, and coordinate overall project operations including promoting the project to residents.

Liang Communications will build and operate the IT system and support service operation infrastructure, while T-money will collect and analyze transportation transaction data and provide it, as well as handle the payment of free transportation subsidies.

Kim Seon-gap, mayor of Gwangjin-gu, said, "Since this project started with the thought of easing the economic burden on residents during the difficult times caused by COVID-19, all parties involved will work together actively to make this project satisfactory for all residents."

The 'Gwangjin-gu Free Transportation Project for Children and Adolescents on Village Buses' has been in effect since this month, providing support up to 80,000 KRW annually for children and 160,000 KRW annually for adolescents.

The payment method involves registering the relevant card information and personal data on the project website, which will be established in September. The transportation card expenses used will be settled quarterly and reimbursed afterward as T-money T Mileage. However, users must sign up on the T-money website and also subscribe to the T Mileage service.
