Busan City, Bus Association, and Green Umbrella Children's Foundation Hold 'Green Umbrella Sharing Bus' Unveiling Ceremony

Unveiling Ceremony of Two Chorokwoosan Sharing Buses at Yeonje Public Garage on the 18th at 2 PM

Busan City, together with the Busan City Bus Transportation Business Association and the Green Umbrella Children’s Foundation, will hold the “Green Umbrella Sharing Bus Unveiling Ceremony” at 2 p.m. on the 18th at Yeonje Public Garage.

About 30 officials are expected to attend the unveiling ceremony, including Busan City officials, Seong Hyun-do, Chairman of the Busan City Bus Transportation Business Association, Hwang Young-gi, Chairman of the Green Umbrella Children’s Foundation, Chae Chang-il, Chairman of the Green Noble Club Busan Sponsorship Association, and Lee Hong-ryeol, Ambassador.

The “Green Umbrella Sharing Bus” project is a social contribution activity promoted in collaboration with the Green Umbrella Children’s Foundation, where a portion of the transportation revenue from buses operated as Green Umbrella Sharing Buses and donations from related companies are donated to create a happier Busan for children.

This initiative is implemented in line with Busan City’s nationwide first policy of free fares for children, which has been in effect since October 6.

The Green Umbrella Sharing Buses, which will be launched through the unveiling ceremony on the 18th, will operate for about six months until March 31 of next year, utilizing a total of two buses: city bus number 10 (Gukje Passenger) and number 129-1 (Daejin Passenger), one bus each.

The exteriors of the two buses have been wrapped to indicate that they are Green Umbrella Sharing Buses.

Additionally, through this project, about 10 million KRW in donations will be delivered to the Green Umbrella Children’s Foundation early next year, combining 10% of the transportation revenue generated by the two Green Umbrella Sharing Buses until the end of this year and voluntary donations from the industry.

The donated funds will be used for the foundation’s core projects supporting unaccompanied children, children living in childcare facilities, and young adults preparing for independence.

Jung Im-su, Director of the City Transportation Bureau, said, “We planned the ‘Green Umbrella Sharing Bus’ together with the foundation to promote the creation of a ‘child-friendly city that grows together.’ We will strive to create an environment where children in the Busan area can grow up healthily through continuous interest and support for children, along with the nationwide first policy of free fares for children.”
