'The Gyeonggi Pass' adds 'Card for All' unlimited monthly pass function...transportation benefit greatly expanded

[Suwon Ilbo=Kim Gap-dong Reporter] Starting from the new year, 'Card for All,' a monthly unlimited pass function, will be added to 'The Gyeonggi Pass,' which refunds a portion of transportation costs across all public transportation nationwide.

Based on adult rates, for 62,000 won per month, buses and subways can be used unlimited with the difference refunded. With 100,000 won per month, wide-area buses and GTX and other expensive transportation can be used unlimited. In particular, because the system automatically calculates the maximum refund based on user age group, usage amount, and other factors, users do not need to make a separate application.

The Gyeonggi Pass is a transportation cost support policy based on the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport's K-Pass. With the introduction of 'Card for All,' which has unlimited pass functionality, on K-Pass, The Gyeonggi Pass benefits linked to K-Pass have also expanded.

'Card for All' is a benefit that fully refunds the amount exceeding the monthly standard amount when using public transportation. It effectively provides an unlimited monthly pass effect for the amount of the monthly standard.

The refund standard amounts are 62,000 won for the basic type and 100,000 won for the plus type. For the plus type, refunds also apply to transportation such as wide-area buses and GTX where the single fare is 3,000 won or more.

Existing The Gyeonggi Pass users can receive 'Card for All' benefits without a separate application process. The system analyzes usage methods and amounts each month and automatically applies the refund method that provides the largest refund amount among the existing fixed-rate refund (20-53%) and 'Card for All (basic/plus type)'.

For youth aged 19-34, who are eligible for a 30% refund on public transportation costs, K-Pass and Card for All set the youth standard at 19-34 years old to provide refund benefits. In contrast, Gyeonggi Province applies youth additional benefits to a wider age group up to 19-39 years old.

Additionally, Gyeonggi Province will continue to promote the 'Gyeonggi Province Children and Youth Transportation Cost Support Project,' which provides a 100% refund of transportation costs up to a maximum of 240,000 won per year for children and youth aged 6-18. The 'Gyeonggi Province Senior Transportation Cost Support Pilot Project,' which has provided refunds of up to 360,000 won per year for seniors aged 70 and older in Icheon, Dongducheon, and Yangpyeong-gun since October of last year, will also continue.

Gyeonggi Province Governor Kim Dong-yeon said, "The Gyeonggi Pass not only alleviates residents' transportation burden but also responds to the climate crisis by shifting private vehicle demand to public transportation, thereby reducing carbon emissions," and added, "With the added benefits of Card for All, this year we will also ensure that more residents can use The Gyeonggi Pass."

Residents wishing to use The Gyeonggi Pass should obtain a K-Pass dedicated card and register as a member on the K-Pass app or website. The children and youth transportation cost support project can be applied through the children and youth transportation cost support website operated by Gyeonggi Transportation Corporation, and the senior transportation cost support project can be applied in-person through eup/myeon/dong administrative welfare centers.

Meanwhile, as of January 5, 2026, The Gyeonggi Pass subscriber base surpassed 1.63 million, and The Gyeonggi Pass was selected as the best policy at the Gyeonggi Province Representative Policy Festival held on December 30 last year, receiving strong support from many residents.
