The Seoul Metropolitan Government (SMG) launched the Climate Card demonstration project on January 27th, with a complete initiation planned for July 2024. The Climate Card provides unlimited use of public transportation within Seoul City, including Ttareungi, the bike-sharing system, at ₩65,000 per month. The SMG announced that they would continue to expand the service to other regions, such as Gimpo City, acknowledging the card cannot be used when using public transportation in areas outside Seoul City. On the other hand, Gyeonggi Province aims to launch the Gyeonggi Pass this coming May. The Gyeonggi Pass returns a certain percentage of all public transit fees without regional boundaries. It is a policy that offers additional advantages to citizens of Gyeonggi Province via a linkage with another transportation project called K-pass, run by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport. The most distinguished feature of the Gyeonggi Pass from the Climate Card is that it can be used for every mode of transport, including wide-area buses. These numerous transit passes devised across various administrative divisions were created to reduce citizens’ financial burdens and alleviate the climate crisis by reviving public transportation. However, few experts showed concern that the passes might lead to civil chaos. Lee Young-soo, a researcher at the Public Policy Institute for People, stated in Segye Ilbo, “The fact that people need to contemplate before selecting a system implies it is not as handy as the existing Metropolitan Unity Fare.”
