Seo-gu, Gwangju City (Mayor Kim Ikang) announced on the 22nd that it will promote the ‘Two-Child Mom Happiness Taxi Project’ targeting families with a second child or more this year.

The ‘Two-Child Mom Happiness Taxi’ is a policy designed to ensure the safety of children and the convenience of mothers’ mobility, considering the difficulties in using public transportation when going out with infants and mothers in recovery.

The support target is families registered in Seo-gu with a second child or more. When registering the birth, applicants can apply at the relevant administrative welfare center and receive 20 taxi coupons worth 10,000 KRW each by mail.

These coupons can be used as taxi fares when going out with infants, and are expected to have a practical effect in supporting mobility.

To provide smooth service, Seo-gu plans to cooperate with Gwangju Bitgoeul Call Taxi to operate a dedicated call number and introduce a priority dispatch system to increase user satisfaction.

Kim Myeongsuk, Head of the Low Birthrate and Aging Society Policy Division, said, “We hope that various supports for families with children will play a significant role in improving residents’ quality of life,” adding, “We will continue to promote detailed policies that create an atmosphere where all local residents can share the joy of childbirth and provide practical help to parenting parents.”
