[Photo] Seoul Subway and Bus Fare Likely to Increase by 300 Won... Possibly as Early as April Next Year

On the 29th, when Seoul announced plans to raise public transportation fares by 300 won each for the subway, city buses, and village buses at the end of April next year, citizens were passing through the turnstiles at City Hall Station on Seoul Subway Line 1. The city decided to increase fares, judging that it could no longer endure the severe accumulated deficits of the subway and buses, especially since the government has decided not to support the budget for free rides for the elderly and disabled next year./Reporter Kim Hyun-min kimhyun81@
