Ddarungi Service Restored... "2-Day Pass Extension for All Users"

The Seoul Metropolitan Government announced on the 7th that it completed recovery measures for the Ttareungi app communication failure starting from 11:20 AM, and the service is currently operating normally.

From January to May this year, the number of rentals of Seoul's public bicycles, Ddareungi, reached 14.14 million, marking a 38.3% increase compared to the same period last year (10.22 million). Since the COVID-19 social distancing measures, Ddareungi has become established as a daily transportation means, leading to a rapid increase in usage. The city plans to introduce an additional 3,000 Ddareungi bicycles in the second half of the year to prepare for the expected rise in rentals.

On that day, a connection failure occurred with the Ttareungi app from 7:50 AM, and the city took measures and provided guidance to prevent users from incurring excess charges. Cancellation of charges was completed to ensure no excess fees were applied during the connection downtime, and normal use is now possible.

Additionally, as a follow-up to the failure, a two-day extension of usage passes was implemented, and continuous monitoring of citizen usage will be conducted.
