Seoul City Bus Fare Evaders' Unpaid Bus Fees of 250,000 Won Delivered by Mail Spark Attention

Sent 250,000 KRW in cash by mail to the Bus Policy Division (Bus Operations Team) to rectify past misuse by Seoul citizens who did not pay bus fares honestly

Letter content... Hello? Several years ago, I used the Seoul city bus without paying the fare honestly. I want to make amends for my mistake. I am truly sorry.

In the past, there were citizens who occasionally used the bus without paying the fare honestly, such as using torn bills or foreign coins.

To make amends for such past behavior, an anonymous citizen sent a handwritten letter along with five 50,000 won bills as bus fare to the Seoul City Bus Policy Division and Bus Operation Team by mail (2023.8.7.).

The 250,000 won sent was delivered to the Bus Association SuGongHyeop (Transport Revenue Joint Management Company Council) and deposited into the SuGongHyeop account (2023.8.17.).

Jo Jang-woo, Chairman of the Seoul City Bus Transport Business Association, expressed his gratitude, saying, “Despite the difficult times with high inflation and bus fare increases for the first time in eight years, we thank the citizen who paid the previously unpaid bus fare. We will strive to become a city bus that accompanies citizens by providing better service.”
