Boseong-gun Implements '100-Won Bus' for Elementary, Middle, and High School Students

Boseong-gun Youth Also Ride the '100 Won Bus'

[Boseong=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Cheon-seok] Jeonnam Boseong-gun announced on the 16th that it signed a business agreement with Boseong Transportation Co., Ltd. to implement the ‘100-won bus for elementary, middle, and high school students’ and will start operating the 100-won bus for students from October 1.

The ‘100-won bus for elementary, middle, and high school students’ is implemented to reduce the transportation cost burden on students and promote the use of public transportation. The 100-won bus applies to elementary, middle, and high school students and youths under the age of 18, and is valid on all routes operated by rural buses.

The youth 100-won bus fare applies only when using a youth transportation card when boarding rural buses; if paying by cash, the existing flat fare (800 won) will still apply. The loss compensation due to the fare reduction will be supported by the county.

County Governor Kim Cheol-woo said, “Following the 1,000-won bus implemented since 2017, the implementation of the 100-won bus for elementary, middle, and high school students is expected to significantly reduce students’ transportation cost burden.” He added, “We will continue to implement various public transportation policies to realize transportation welfare.”

Meanwhile, the 100-won bus for elementary, middle, and high school students is a pledge of the 8th term of Boseong-gun’s civilian administration, and this policy is expected to guarantee the mobility rights of rural students.

Boseong-gun recently established an implementation plan for 81 unit projects in five major areas as part of the 8th term county governor’s pledges, and plans to announce the final confirmation after the county government coordination committee meeting at the end of September.
