This adjustment was finalized after a review by the Goyang City Consumer Policy Committee on September 25, and will be implemented on October 25 to coincide with the Gyeonggi Province city bus fare adjustment date.

The adjusted card fares are as follows: the general public fare will increase from 1,450 won to 1,650 won (an increase of 200 won); the youth fare will rise from 1,010 won to 1,160 won (an increase of 150 won); and the children's fare will go up from 730 won to 830 won (an increase of 100 won). These fares are the same as the adjusted city bus fares in Gyeonggi Province.

The city explained that the management conditions for village bus operators have been steadily deteriorating due to rising transportation costs and a decrease in passengers. In particular, under the structure of the metropolitan area integrated transfer discount system, village buses are at a disadvantage in revenue distribution, so if the village bus fares remain frozen, deficits are bound to worsen.

An official from Goyang Special City stated, "Since the metropolitan area integrated transfer discount system is applied, the additional transportation cost burden for citizens will not be significant. By utilizing the K-Pass, Climate Companion Card, and transportation cost support for children and youth, the cost-saving effect can be further enhanced."

The official added, "We will do our best to improve citizen convenience through stable public transportation operations."
