Daejeon City "Citizens with Two or More Children Aged Youth and Cheong Adolescents Can Use Urban Rail for Free"

Citizens of Daejeon with two or more children aged 18 or younger will soon be able to use the city subway for free.

On the 12th, the city announced that starting next month on the 1st, citizens raising two or more children aged 18 or younger will be provided with free access to the city subway.

This means the issuance criteria for the existing ‘Kkumnamu Sarang Card’ for multi-child families will be relaxed (expanded) from three or more children aged 18 or younger to two or more.

With the relaxed issuance criteria, the number of households eligible for free subway use will increase from 11,096 households (with three children) as of the end of last year to 69,110 households (with two children).

Parents who receive the card can enjoy benefits such as free use of the Daejeon city subway, a 50% discount on public parking lots, and discounts on goods at 802 participating businesses that support multi-child families.

Notably, Daejeon is the first city or province nationwide operating a multi-child card to offer free subway use benefits to parents of two-child households.

Two-child households newly eligible can apply for the card starting next month on the 1st by bringing identification and a resident registration certificate or family relationship certificate to a Daejeon Hana Bank branch. Eligible applicants are fathers or mothers of families residing in Daejeon with two or more children aged 18 or younger.

Meanwhile, the Kkumnamu Sarang Card was introduced in July 2007 as part of a birth encouragement policy, providing benefits to families with three or more children under the age of 13.

Since January 2021, the issuance criteria were expanded from children under 13 to children aged 18 or younger.
