Anyang City to Provide Up to 160,000 KRW in Transportation Support for Seniors Aged 70 and Over

Mayor Choi Dae-ho of Anyang City is holding a promotional signboard for the transportation cost support project for seniors aged 70 and over, which will be implemented from the 4th of this month, and posing for a photo.

Anyang City in Gyeonggi Province will support transportation expenses for seniors aged 70 and over starting from the 4th of this month to promote an active retirement life. Anyang City is accepting applications for this program until the 27th of this month.

This project reimburses transportation expenses up to 40,000 KRW per quarter (160,000 KRW annually) to the bank account (NongHyup) of residents aged 70 and over in Anyang who use village, city, or metropolitan buses passing through Anyang City with a G-PASS card.

Anyang City expects about 54,000 seniors aged 70 and over within the city to benefit from this transportation expense support.

To minimize inconvenience in applying, Anyang City operates application dates according to birth years until the 27th of this month.

In the first week of October (October 4?6), those born before 1933 can apply; in the second week (October 10?13), those born between 1934 and 1943; in the third week (October 16?20), those born between 1944 and 1948; and in the fourth week (October 23?27), those born between 1949 and 1953 (before October 4) can apply.

Additionally, even within the same week, application periods are divided by birth year on a daily basis, so applicants should check the schedule in advance through the website (poster) and other sources.

Applications can be submitted at 35 NongHyup branches within the city. Applicants must bring their ID, G-PASS card, and bankbook (if applicable) when visiting.

The card can be recharged at local ATMs or convenience stores before use, and transportation expenses used in the fourth quarter of this year will be settled and deposited by the end of January next year.

Mayor Choi Jae-ho of Anyang promised, "We will implement meticulous policies so that seniors can conveniently and safely use public transportation and enjoy various cultural activities."
