Suwon City to Run Free Round-Trip Bus Service to Seoul and Daejeon National Cemeteries on Memorial Day

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Jung Jun-sung] Suwon City will operate free round-trip bus service to the Seoul and Daejeon National Cemeteries on Memorial Day, June 6, for national merit recipients and their bereaved families residing in the city.

Suwon City's free bus service is planned to honor the patriotic spirit of national merit recipients who sacrificed for the nation.

The city will provide participating bereaved families of national merit recipients (including accompanying family members, up to 3 people) with round-trip buses to the National Seoul and Daejeon Cemeteries as well as boxed meals.

The service will operate 15 large buses with a capacity to transport approximately 600 people. However, to allow more merit recipients to use the service, applicants are limited to national merit recipients residing in Suwon, their bereaved families, and guardians of up to 2 people.

Additionally, those with mobility difficulties or chronic illnesses cannot use the service. Applicants will be recruited on a first-come, first-served basis, with 80 people for the Daejeon National Cemetery and 20 people for the Seoul National Cemetery.

Applications must be made in person at the neighborhood administrative welfare center, or by phone if it is difficult to visit due to health reasons.

Suwon City plans to notify selected applicants via text message on the 25th and send bus usage guidance via text on June 5.
