Seongnam City, Gyeonggi Province (Mayor Shin Sang-jin) announced on the 15th that after signing the 'Climate Companion Card Participation Business Agreement' with Seoul City in December last year, and following practical consultations and related system improvements, the benefits of the Climate Companion Card will be officially applied starting from the 3rd of next month.

The Climate Companion Card is an integrated monthly pass costing 65,000 KRW that allows unlimited use of Seoul City's city and village buses, subways (including affiliated cities and counties), and the public bicycle service 'Ddareungi.' The Shinbundang Line is excluded from the coverage.

From the first train on May 3rd, the Climate Companion Card will be usable at 10 stations on the Suin-Bundang Line within Seongnam City (section from Gachon University to Ori) and 3 stations on the Gyeonggang Line (section from Pangyo to Imae).

Since last year, the Climate Companion Card has already been usable on 11 Seoul city-licensed city bus routes passing through Seongnam (routes 302, 303, 333, 343, 345, 422, 440, 452, 3420, 4425, 4432), the entire Line 8 subway, and stations in other cities (Goyang, Gwacheon, Gimpo, Namyangju, Guri) that have agreements with Seoul City.

With the expansion of the Climate Companion Card usage to the Seongnam sections of the Suin-Bundang Line and Gyeonggang Line, it is expected that the convenience of transportation for citizens commuting or attending school in Seoul and the metropolitan area will be further enhanced. In particular, as it is linked with the transportation infrastructure throughout Seongnam City, accessibility and the range of choices for public transportation use are also expected to broaden significantly.

The fare is applied the same as in Seoul City. For a 30-day pass, general users pay 65,000 KRW, while youth aged 19 to 39 can use it at a discounted price of 58,000 KRW, which is 7,000 KRW off.

The Climate Companion Card can be used in two forms: a physical card and a mobile card. The physical card can be purchased at the customer safety offices of Seoul subway lines 1 to 8 or convenience stores near subway stations, and after selecting the type and charging the amount at charging machines installed inside subway stations, it can be used.

The mobile card can be used immediately after installing the 'Mobile T-money' app on an Android-based smartphone, registering as a member, setting the start date of use, and charging the card.

Mayor Shin Sang-jin of Seongnam said, "With the Climate Companion Card now available on the Seongnam sections of the Suin-Bundang Line and Gyeonggang Line, we expect a definite reduction in transportation costs for citizens using public transportation in Seongnam and Seoul. We will continue to promote policies with neighboring cities that enhance citizens' mobility convenience, alleviate traffic congestion, and contribute to improving air quality."
