The ‘Happy Dong-gu Taxi’ project provides two monthly ride vouchers to seniors aged 65 and over and people with disabilities living in transportation-vulnerable areas. Each voucher supports up to 15,000 KRW.


Selected users residing in transportation-vulnerable areas can use the taxi service to travel anywhere within Gwangju and to Hwasun Jeonnam National University Hospital.


When paying the taxi fare, users must cover a basic co-payment (minimum 2,000 KRW), and the remaining amount can be paid using the voucher.



Im Taek, the mayor of Dong-gu, said, “We will actively support so that many residents can benefit from the Happy Dong-gu Taxi service.”
