Volunteers traveling to the affected areas by SRT for wildfire restoration can use the service free of charge except for the first-class seats, and return tickets from the affected areas are also provided free of charge.

To use SRT for free, a volunteer confirmation certificate issued by the wildfire-affected area volunteer center is required. Presenting the certificate at the station ticket counter allows free issuance of tickets needed for travel to the affected areas. Tickets purchased without discounts can also be refunded by the next day after the volunteer work ends.

Lee Jong-guk, CEO of SR, said, "We deeply appreciate the volunteers dedicating themselves throughout the wildfire-affected areas, and we hope that the SRT fare support will help restoration activities and the national disaster recovery."
