Anyang City Operates 'Good Cart' and 'Voucher Taxi' Normally

[Suwon Ilbo=Yoo Je-sung Reporter] Anyang City announced on the 15th that it will operate 'Good Cart' and 'Voucher Taxi' normally through the 18th during the Lunar New Year holiday period.

The two transportation services support daily mobility for transportation-disadvantaged people, including people with disabilities, pregnant women, and infants and toddlers, who have difficulty using public transportation, for medical treatment, school commutes, and work commutes.

'Good Cart' can be used by citizens with severe mobility disabilities and wheelchair users who have difficulty moving around.

Currently operating 42 vehicles year-round, the city plans to replace five aging vehicles this year to enhance operational stability.

Reservations and use are available 24 hours through the Gyeonggi Province Transportation Disadvantaged Mobility Support Center call center (1666-0420), website (ggsts.gg.go.kr), and mobile app.

'Voucher Taxi' operates as a regular taxi on normal days but supports transportation-disadvantaged people's mobility when assigned by Anyang City's transportation-disadvantaged call center.

It can be used by non-wheelchair transportation-disadvantaged people and others not included in 'Good Cart' usage eligibility. Currently 67 vehicles are in operation.

The service is available from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. through Anyang City's Transportation Disadvantaged Mobility Support Center call center (031-400-7990), and does not operate on Sundays.

Han Ki-hap, head of Transportation Support Division at Anyang Urban Corporation, said, "We will operate both transportation services normally during the Lunar New Year holidays so transportation-disadvantaged people can travel without inconvenience and spend warm time with their families." He added, "We will continue to improve mobility convenience for transportation-disadvantaged people by reflecting citizens' opinions going forward."
