Jeonju City to Raise Monthly Pass Fares for City Buses Starting January Next Year

30-Day Pass 40,000 Won → 46,000 Won, 2-Day Pass 9,000 Won → 10,000 Won, 1-Day Pass 5,000 Won → 5,500 Won Increase

[Jeonju=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Han-ho] Jeonju City announced on the 10th that it will raise the fare for Jeonju city bus commuter passes by about 15% starting January 1st next year.

This is because the Jeonju city bus fare was increased from 1,300 won to 1,500 won for adults last July, and the commuter pass fare will also be raised proportionally to the bus fare increase rate.

Accordingly, the 30-day Jeonju city bus commuter pass fare will increase by 6,000 won from the existing 40,000 won to 46,000 won, and the 2-day pass will rise from 9,000 won to 10,000 won.

Also, the 1-day pass, which allows unlimited bus rides throughout the day, will increase by 500 won from 5,000 won to 5,500 won.

The Jeonju city bus commuter pass is a Jeonju-exclusive transportation card that allows unlimited use of Jeonju city buses and village buses for a set period, and it can be purchased and recharged at GS25 convenience stores in Jeonju and Wanju areas.

An additional 3,000 won is required for the card fee upon first issuance, and by searching for ‘Jeonju City Commuter Pass’ on the Google Play Store, it can also be used as a mobile commuter pass.

Jeonju City plans to continuously promote the fare change through bus stop BIS, the Jeonju City website, GS25 convenience stores, and other channels to prevent any inconvenience to citizens caused by the fare increase.

Meanwhile, the Jeonju city bus commuter pass was first introduced nationwide on July 1st last year to activate city bus usage and alleviate the economic burden on citizens such as students and office workers.
