Accordingly, the basic fare will also be raised for all six lines in the province that currently operate under the same fare system: Uijeongbu Light Rail, Yongin Light Rail, Gimpo Light Rail, Line 5 Hanam Extension, Line 7 Bucheon Section, and Line 8 Byeollae Extension in Namyangju and Guri.


Gyeonggi Province completed the process of gathering opinions through the Urban Railway Fare Adjustment Committee review, public hearings, provincial council consultations, and Consumer Policy Committee review from January to April. After continuous discussions with Seoul, Incheon, and Korail regarding the timing of the fare increase, the parties agreed to raise the basic fare starting on the 28th.



Meanwhile, the separate 200-won fare that had been charged for the Yongin Light Rail will be abolished in line with this adjustment, and the separate fare for the Uijeongbu Light Rail will be reduced from 300 won to 200 won.
