[Photo] Seoul Subway and Bus Fares to Increase by 300 Won... Scheduled for 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 by the end of April next year, a citizen was purchasing a single-use transportation card at City Hall Station on Seoul Subway Line 1. The city decided to increase fares, judging that it could no longer sustain the situation due to the severe accumulated deficits of the subway and buses, and the government’s decision not to support the budget for free rides for the elderly and disabled next year./Reporter Kim Hyun-min kimhyun81@
