Mobile Altteul Transportation Card, Mileage Accumulation Available Nationwide

[Asia Economy Reporter Minyoung Kim] The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport's Metropolitan Area Wide-area Transportation Committee announced on the 20th that from the 21st, mileage can be accumulated anywhere nationwide using a mobile Altteul Transportation Card available only on mobile phones.

The Altteul Transportation Card is a project promoted to reduce national transportation costs, where the government and local governments provide mileage based on walking, bicycle, and other usage distances when using public transportation, and card companies provide additional support for transportation costs. Users can save up to 30% on public transportation expenses.

The mobile Altteul Transportation Card was introduced in 2020 and is currently available nationwide, but the regions where mileage can be accumulated are limited according to the business areas of each mobile Altteul Transportation Card company. For example, T-money allows mileage accumulation in the Seoul metropolitan area, Daejeon, and Sejong; Locamobility in Busan, Ulsan, Chungnam, Chungbuk, Gyeongnam, Gyeongbuk, Jeonnam, Jeonbuk, Gangwon, and Jeju; and DGB U-Pay only in Daegu.

Accordingly, the Metropolitan Area Wide-area Transportation Committee has been working on system improvements for data linkage among the three mobile Altteul Transportation Card companies, and from the 21st, mileage can be accumulated anywhere nationwide with a single mobile Altteul Transportation Card regardless of the card company's business area.

The Altteul Transportation Card project, implemented in 159 cities, counties, and districts across 17 provinces nationwide, currently has 400,000 users. Since June 1st, Wonju City in Gangwon Province newly joined, making it a project that all cities, counties, and districts with a population of over 300,000 nationwide participate in.
